In this paper, we present the first explicit and non-asymptotic global convergence rates of the BFGS method when implemented with an inexact line search scheme satisfying the Armijo-Wolfe conditions. We show that BFGS achieves a global…

In this paper, we propose a quasi Newton method to solve the robust counterpart of an uncertain multiobjective optimization problem under an arbitrary finite uncertainty set. Here the robust counterpart of an uncertain multiobjective…

Incorporating second order curvature information in gradient based methods have shown to improve convergence drastically despite its computational intensity. In this paper, we propose a stochastic (online) quasi-Newton method with…

During recent years there has been an increased interest in stochastic adaptations of limited memory quasi-Newton methods, which compared to pure gradient-based routines can improve the convergence by incorporating second order information.…

We study finite-sum nonconvex optimization problems, where the objective function is an average of $n$ nonconvex functions. We propose a new stochastic gradient descent algorithm based on nested variance reduction. Compared with…

We present an efficient quasi-Newton orbital solver optimized to reduce the number of gradient (Fock matrix) evaluations. The solver optimizes orthogonal orbitals by sequences of unitary rotations generated by the (preconditioned)…

Latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are widely used in statistics and machine learning. Bayesian inference in non-conjugate LGMs is difficult due to intractable integrals involving the Gaussian prior and non-conjugate likelihoods. Algorithms…

Here we study non-convex composite optimization: first, a finite-sum of smooth but non-convex functions, and second, a general function that admits a simple proximal mapping. Most research on stochastic methods for composite optimization…

In this paper, we develop two Riemannian stochastic smoothing algorithms for nonsmooth optimization problems on Riemannian manifolds, addressing distinct forms of the nonsmooth term \( h \). Both methods combine dynamic smoothing with a…

From optimal transport to robust dimensionality reduction, a plethora of machine learning applications can be cast into the min-max optimization problems over Riemannian manifolds. Though many min-max algorithms have been analyzed in the…

The effectiveness of dimensionality reduction with quadratic manifolds hinges on the choice of a reduced basis and the associated quadratic correction terms. Existing approaches typically rely on subspaces spanned by the leading principal…

We consider the problem of asynchronous stochastic optimization, where an optimization algorithm makes updates based on stale stochastic gradients of the objective that are subject to an arbitrary (possibly adversarial) sequence of delays.…

In Part I of this work, we have proposed a general framework of decentralized stochastic quasi-Newton methods, which converge linearly to the optimal solution under the assumption that the local Hessian inverse approximations have bounded…

Shape-constrained convex regression problem deals with fitting a convex function to the observed data, where additional constraints are imposed, such as component-wise monotonicity and uniform Lipschitz continuity. This paper provides a…

We develop a new Riemannian descent algorithm that relies on momentum to improve over existing first-order methods for geodesically convex optimization. In contrast, accelerated convergence rates proved in prior work have only been shown to…

We study the convergence properties of the original and away-step Frank-Wolfe algorithms for linearly constrained stochastic optimization assuming the availability of unbiased objective function gradient estimates. The objective function is…

Hybrid quantum-classical optimization using near-term quantum technology is an emerging direction for exploring quantum advantage in high-dimensional systems. However, precise characterization of all experimental parameters is often…

The natural gradient method is widely used in statistical optimization, but its standard formulation assumes a Euclidean parameter space. This paper proposes an inversion-free stochastic natural gradient method for probability distributions…
