Show HN: The Hessian of tall-skinny networks is easy to invert

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/42de4c0e6ba095dc7162daa31ced987522b0edea37dfa9563806fe7b9a0c2a2d/a-rahimi/hessian
This package shows how to multiply the inverse of the Hessian of a deep network with a vector. If the Hessian-vector product is $H v$ for some fixed vector $v$, we're interested in solving $H x = v$ for $x$. The hope is to soon use this as a preconditioner to speed up stochastic gradient descent. Pearlmutter showed a clever way to compute the Hessian-vector-product for a deep net. By ...
