Predicting the convergence of BiCG method from grayscale matrix images
Ryo Ota, Hidehiko Hasegawa · JSIAM Letters · 2020
The convergence of the BiConjugate Gradient (BiCG) method depends on its input matrices. We tried to predict the convergence of BiCG method by applying a Convolutional Neural Network to matrices that had been converted to grayscale images. Using 875 real non-symmetric matrices in the SuiteSparse Matrix Collection, we applied the 5-fold cross-validation method and were able to predict convergence with an average accuracy that exceeded 80\% for all cases in the test collection.
