The analysis of projection-free first order methods is often complicated by the presence of different kinds of "good" and "bad" steps. In this article, we propose a unifying framework for projection-free methods, aiming to simplify the…

This paper analyzes the convergence rates of the {\it Frank-Wolfe } method for solving convex constrained multiobjective optimization. We establish improved convergence rates under different assumptions on the objective function, the…

In this paper, we consider Frank-Wolfe-based algorithms for composite convex optimization problems with objective involving a logarithmically-homogeneous, self-concordant functions. Recent Frank-Wolfe-based methods for this class of…

In the rank-constrained optimization problem (RCOP), it minimizes a linear objective function over a prespecified closed rank-constrained domain set and $m$ generic two-sided linear matrix inequalities. Motivated by the Dantzig-Wolfe (DW)…

In this paper, we study the problem of speeding up a type of optimization algorithms called Frank-Wolfe, a conditional gradient method. We develop and employ two novel inner product search data structures, improving the prior fastest…

Dueling optimization considers optimizing an objective with access to only a comparison oracle of the objective function. It finds important applications in emerging fields such as recommendation systems and robotics. Existing works on…

Minimization of the nuclear norm is often used as a surrogate, convex relaxation, for finding the minimum rank completion (recovery) of a partial matrix. The minimum nuclear norm problem can be solved as a trace minimization semidefinite…

We propose a novel generalization of the conditional gradient (CG / Frank-Wolfe) algorithm for minimizing a smooth function $f$ under an intersection of compact convex sets, using a first-order oracle for $\nabla f$ and linear minimization…

Federated learning (FL) has gained a lot of attention in recent years for building privacy-preserving collaborative learning systems. However, FL algorithms for constrained machine learning problems are still limited, particularly when the…

In this paper, we present the Stochastic Origin Frank-Wolfe (SOFW) method, which is a special case of the block-coordinate Frank-Wolfe algorithm, applied to the problem of finding equilibrium flow distributions. By significantly reducing…

We study stochastic projection-free methods for constrained optimization of smooth functions on Riemannian manifolds, i.e., with additional constraints beyond the parameter domain being a manifold. Specifically, we introduce stochastic…

Training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) requires the solution of a quadratic programming problem (QP) whose computational complexity becomes prohibitively expensive for large scale datasets. Traditional optimization methods cannot be…

We propose a simple variant of the generalized Frank-Wolfe method for solving strongly convex composite optimization problems, by introducing an additional averaging step on the dual variables. We show that in this variant, one can choose a…

We study the Frank-Wolfe algorithm for minimizing a differentiable function with Lipschitz continuous gradient over a compact convex set. To extend classical complexity bounds to certain non-convex functions, we focus on the class of…

Invented some 65 years ago in a seminal paper by Marguerite Straus-Frank and Philip Wolfe, the Frank-Wolfe method recently enjoys a remarkable revival, fuelled by the need of fast and reliable first-order optimization methods in Data…

We present and analyze a new generalized Frank-Wolfe method for the composite optimization problem $(P):{\min}_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n}\; f(\mathsf{A} x) + h(x)$, where $f$ is a $\theta$-logarithmically-homogeneous self-concordant barrier,…

Optimization algorithms such as projected Newton's method, FISTA, mirror descent, and its variants enjoy near-optimal regret bounds and convergence rates, but suffer from a computational bottleneck of computing ``projections'' in…

Error bound condition has recently gained revived interest in optimization. It has been leveraged to derive faster convergence for many popular algorithms, including subgradient methods, proximal gradient method and accelerated proximal…

We study the linear convergence of variants of the Frank-Wolfe algorithms for some classes of strongly convex problems, using only affine-invariant quantities. As in Guelat & Marcotte (1986), we show the linear convergence of the standard…

We demonstrate how to scalably solve a class of constrained self-concordant minimization problems using linear minimization oracles (LMO) over the constraint set. We prove that the number of LMO calls of our method is nearly the same as…
