Our goal is to improve variance reducing stochastic methods through better control variates. We first propose a modification of SVRG which uses the Hessian to track gradients over time, rather than to recondition, increasing the correlation…

This paper proposes an intrinsic pseudospectral convexification framework for optimal control problems with manifold constraints. While successive pseudospectral convexification combines spectral collocation with successive convexification,…

We analyse an iterative algorithm to minimize quadratic functions whose Hessian matrix $H$ is the expectation of a random symmetric $d\times d$ matrix. The algorithm is a variant of the stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG). In…

We consider the statistical analysis of trajectories on Riemannian manifolds that are observed under arbitrary temporal evolutions. Past methods rely on cross-sectional analysis, with the given temporal registration, and consequently may…

In this work, we investigate the idea of variance reduction by studying its properties with general adaptive mirror descent algorithms in nonsmooth nonconvex finite-sum optimization problems. We propose a simple yet generalized framework…

Stochastic variance-reduced gradient (SVRG) algorithms have been shown to work favorably in solving large-scale learning problems. Despite the remarkable success, the stochastic gradient complexity of SVRG-type algorithms usually scales…

Stochastic non-convex non-concave optimization, formally characterized as Stochastic Variational Inequalities (SVIs), presents unique challenges due to rotational dynamics and the absence of a global merit function. While adaptive step-size…

A new amortized variance-reduced gradient (AVRG) algorithm was developed in \cite{ying2017convergence}, which has constant storage requirement in comparison to SAGA and balanced gradient computations in comparison to SVRG. One key advantage…

In this work, we explore the application of Stabilization-Free Virtual Element Methods for Neumann boundary Optimal Control Problems in saddle point formulation. The method is proposed for arbitrary polynomial order of accuracy and general…

A recent article introduced thecontinuous stochastic gradient method (CSG) for the efficient solution of a class of stochastic optimization problems. While the applicability of known stochastic gradient type methods is typically limited to…

We propose a novel algorithm, TR-SVR, for solving unconstrained stochastic optimization problems. This method builds on the trust-region framework, which effectively balances local and global exploration in optimization tasks. TR-SVR…

Recently, optimization on the Riemannian manifold have provided valuable insights to the optimization community. In this regard, extending these methods to to the Wasserstein space is of particular interest, since optimization on…

In this paper, we design a regularization-free algorithm for high-dimensional support vector machines (SVMs) by integrating over-parameterization with Nesterov's smoothing method, and provide theoretical guarantees for the induced implicit…

We develop a class of algorithms, as variants of the stochastically controlled stochastic gradient (SCSG) methods (Lei and Jordan, 2016), for the smooth non-convex finite-sum optimization problem. Assuming the smoothness of each component,…

Group synchronization is a fundamental task involving the recovery of group elements from pairwise measurements. For orthogonal group synchronization, the most common approach reformulates the problem as a constrained nonconvex optimization…

Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) using distance covariance (DCOV) was recently proposed as an approach to dimension-reduction problems. Compared with other SDR methods, it is model-free without estimating link function and does not…

Variance reduction methods such as SVRG and SpiderBoost use a mixture of large and small batch gradients to reduce the variance of stochastic gradients. Compared to SGD, these methods require at least double the number of operations per…

We propose a stochastic conditional gradient method (CGM) for minimizing convex finite-sum objectives formed as a sum of smooth and non-smooth terms. Existing CGM variants for this template either suffer from slow convergence rates, or…

We consider a distributed non-convex optimization where a network of agents aims at minimizing a global function over the Stiefel manifold. The global function is represented as a finite sum of smooth local functions, where each local…

We develop a novel optimistic gradient-type algorithmic framework, combining both Nesterov's acceleration and variance-reduction techniques, to solve a class of generalized equations involving possibly nonmonotone operators in data-driven…
