Exact Dual Geometry of SOC-ICNN Value Functions

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.04722v1 Announce Type: cross Input Convex Neural Networks (ICNNs) are commonly used in a two-stage manner: one first trains a convex network and then minimizes it over its input in a downstream inference problem. Recent second-order-cone ICNNs (SOC-ICNNs) enrich ReLU-based ICNNs with quadratic and conic modules and admit an exact representation as value functions of second-order cone programs (SOCPs). This value-function structure enables an explicit convex-analytic treatment of SOC-ICNN inference.
