Randomized-subspace methods reduce the cost of first-order optimization by using only low-dimensional projected-gradient information, a feature that is attractive in forward-mode automatic differentiation and communication-limited settings.…

There is a recent interest on first-order methods for linear programming (LP). In this paper,we propose a stochastic algorithm using variance reduction and restarts for solving sharp primal-dual problems such as LP. We show that the…

This work establishes new convergence guarantees for gradient descent in smooth convex optimization via a computer-assisted analysis technique. Our theory allows nonconstant stepsize policies with frequent long steps potentially violating…

Projected gradient descent and its Riemannian variant belong to a typical class of methods for low-rank matrix estimation. This paper proposes a new Nesterov's Accelerated Riemannian Gradient algorithm by efficient orthographic retraction…

Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for minimizing a smooth strongly convex function $f$ is known to reduce $f(\x_k)-f(\x^*)$ by a factor of $\eps\in(0,1)$ after $k\ge O(\sqrt{L/\ell}\log(1/\eps))$ iterations, where $\ell,L$ are the two…

In this paper, we describe a stochastic adaptive fast gradient descent method based on the mirror variant of similar triangles method. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to use adaptivity in stochastic method. Additionally, a main…

First-order primal-dual methods are appealing for their low memory overhead, fast iterations, and effective parallelization. However, they are often slow at finding high accuracy solutions, which creates a barrier to their use in…

Nonnegative matrix factorization has been widely applied in face recognition, text mining, as well as spectral analysis. This paper proposes an alternating proximal gradient method for solving this problem. With a uniformly positive lower…

We develop a gradient-like algorithm to minimize a sum of peer objective functions based on coordination through a peer interconnection network. The coordination admits two stages: the first is to constitute a gradient, possibly with…

Hypergraph matching has recently become a popular approach for solving correspondence problems in computer vision as it allows to integrate higher-order geometric information. Hypergraph matching can be formulated as a third-order…

We present a numerical method for convergence acceleration for multifidelity models of parameterized ordinary differential equations. The hierarchy of models is defined as trajectories computed using different timesteps in a time…

Decoupled learning is a branch of model parallelism which parallelizes the training of a network by splitting it depth-wise into multiple modules. Techniques from decoupled learning usually lead to stale gradient effect because of their…

Adaptive control achieves concurrent parameter learning and stable control under uncertainties that are linearly parameterized with known nonlinear features. Nonetheless, it is often difficult to obtain such nonlinear features. To address…

Since Nesterov's seminal 1983 work, many accelerated first-order optimization methods have been proposed, but their analyses lacks a common unifying structure. In this work, we identify a geometric structure satisfied by a wide range of…

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…

This work presents a universal accelerated first-order primal-dual method for affinely constrained convex optimization problems. It can handle both Lipschitz and H\"{o}lder gradients but does not need to know the smoothness level of the…

In this paper, we study a bilinear saddle point problem of the form $\min_{x}\max_{y} F(x) + \langle Ax, y \rangle - G(y)$, where $F$ and $G$ are $\mu_F$- and $\mu_G$-strongly convex functions, respectively. By incorporating Nesterov…

Current state-of-the-art analyses on the convergence of gradient descent for training neural networks focus on characterizing properties of the loss landscape, such as the Polyak-Lojaciewicz (PL) condition and the restricted strong…

Learning-to-optimize (L2O) is an emerging research area in large-scale optimization with applications in data science. Recently, researchers have proposed a novel L2O framework called learned mirror descent (LMD), based on the classical…

We present a novel deep learning approach to approximate the solution of large, sparse, symmetric, positive-definite linear systems of equations. These systems arise from many problems in applied science, e.g., in numerical methods for…
