The work is devoted to the construction of efficient and applicable to real tasks first-order methods of convex optimization, that is, using only values of the target function and its derivatives. Construction uses OGM-G, fast gradient…

The proximal inertial gradient descent is efficient for the composite minimization and applicable for broad of machine learning problems. In this paper, we revisit the computational complexity of this algorithm and present other novel…

This paper presents a novel restarted version of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method and establishes its optimal iteration-complexity for solving convex smooth composite optimization problems. The proposed restart accelerated gradient…

We analyze the convergence rate of an accelerated backward forward method for solving convex composite optimization problems. The method was developed by Taylor, Hendrickx and Glineur, and is different from the FISTA algorithm in its…

The Nesterov's accelerated quasi-Newton (L)NAQ method has shown to accelerate the conventional (L)BFGS quasi-Newton method using the Nesterov's accelerated gradient in several neural network (NN) applications. However, the calculation of…

In machine learning research, the proximal gradient methods are popular for solving various optimization problems with non-smooth regularization. Inexact proximal gradient methods are extremely important when exactly solving the proximal…

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions subject to linear linking constraints. The classical alternating direction type methods usually assume that the two convex functions have relatively easy…

We study the problem of learning high dimensional regression models regularized by a structured-sparsity-inducing penalty that encodes prior structural information on either input or output sides. We consider two widely adopted types of…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for strongly convex functions converges at the rate $\bO(1/k)$. However, achieving good results in practice requires tuning the parameters (for example the learning rate) of the algorithm. In this paper we…

Nesterov's accelerated forward-backward algorithm (AFBA) is an efficient algorithm for solving a class of two-term convex optimization models consisting of a differentiable function with a Lipschitz continuous gradient plus a…

In a Hilbert framework, for convex differentiable optimization, we consider accelerated gradient methods obtained by combining temporal scaling and averaging techniques with Tikhonov regularization. We start from the continuous steepest…

We study a class of non-convex and non-smooth problems with \textit{rank} regularization to promote sparsity in optimal solution. We propose to apply the proximal gradient descent method to solve the problem and accelerate the process with…

The Nesterov accelerated gradient method, introduced in 1983, has been a cornerstone of optimization theory and practice. Yet the question of its point convergence had remained open. In this work, we resolve this longstanding open problem…

In this paper we consider stochastic composite convex optimization problems with the objective function satisfying a stochastic bounded gradient condition, with or without a quadratic functional growth property. These models include the…

We extend the classic convergence rate theory for subgradient methods to apply to non-Lipschitz functions. For the deterministic projected subgradient method, we present a global $O(1/\sqrt{T})$ convergence rate for any convex function…

Recent studies incorporate Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for the acceleration of gradient based training. The Nesterov's Accelerated Quasi-Newton (NAQ) method has shown to drastically improve the convergence speed compared to the…

We consider the problem of minimizing the average of a large number of smooth but possibly non-convex functions. In the context of most machine learning applications, each loss function is non-negative and thus can be expressed as the…

To solve convex optimization problems with a noisy gradient input, we analyze the global behavior of subgradient-like flows under stochastic errors. The objective function is composite, being equal to the sum of two convex functions, one…

Riemannian accelerated gradient methods have been well studied for smooth optimization, typically treating geodesically convex and geodesically strongly convex cases separately. However, their extension to nonsmooth problems on manifolds…

The paper presents a new descent algorithm for locally Lipschitz continuous functions $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$. The selection of a descent direction at some iteration point $x$ combines an approximation of the set-valued gradient of $f$ on a…
