Abstract

A novel approach is given to overcome the computational challenges of the full-matrix Adaptive Gradient algorithm (Full AdaGrad) in stochastic optimization. By developing a recursive method that estimates the inverse of the square root of the covariance of the gradient, alongside a streaming variant for parameter updates, the study offers efficient and practical algorithms for large-scale applications. This innovative strategy significantly reduces the complexity and resource demands typically associated with full-matrix methods, enabling more effective optimization processes. Moreover, the convergence rates of the proposed estimators and their asymptotic efficiency are given. Their effectiveness is demonstrated through numerical studies.
