Implicit Modelling

  1. simulates an infinite-depth network by fixed point iteration $h=f_{\theta}(h;x)$, in which $x$ is initial input, $\theta$ is the model parameter of one-time transformation. After infinite times of transformations, $x$ will approach the fixed point $h$. DEQ[1], MDEQ[2], iFPN[3]
