Learning by criterion optimization on a unitary unimodular matrix group.
The present manuscript aims at illustrating fundamental challenges and solutions arising in the design of learning theories by optimization on manifolds in the context of complex-valued neural systems. The special case of a unitary unimodular group of matrices is dealt with. The unitary unimodular group under analysis is a low dimensional and easy-to-handle matrix group. Notwithstanding, it exhibits a rich geometrical structure and gives rise to interesting speculations about methods to solve optimization problems on manifolds. Also, its low dimension allows us to treat most of the quantities involved in computation in closed form as well as to render them in graphical format. Some numerical experiments are presented and discussed within the paper, which deal with complex-valued independent component analysis.
