We study composite optimization problems in which the smooth part of the objective function is \( p \)-times continuously differentiable, where \( p \geq 1 \) is an integer. Higher-order methods are known to be effective for solving such…

The Karhunen-Lo\`eve transform (KLT) is often used for data decorrelation and dimensionality reduction. Because its computation depends on the matrix of covariances of the input signal, the use of the KLT in real-time applications is…

In this paper, we investigate the growth error bound condition. By using the proximal point algorithm, we first provide a more accessible and elementary proof of the fact that Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz conditions imply growth error bound…

In recent years, learned image compression (LIC) methods have achieved significant performance improvements. However, obtaining a more compact latent representation and reducing the impact of quantization errors remain key challenges in the…

We study the local convergence rate of stochastic first-order methods under a local $\alpha$-Polyak-Lojasiewicz ($\alpha$-PL) condition in a neighborhood of a target connected component $\mathcal{M}$ of the local minimizer set. The…

We study the gradient flow for a relaxed approximation to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between a moving source and a fixed target distribution. This approximation, termed the KALE (KL approximate lower-bound estimator), solves a…

In this work, we consider a class of convex optimization problems in a real Hilbert space that can be solved by performing a single projection, i.e., by projecting an infeasible point onto the feasible set. Our results improve those…

In this paper, we study convergence rates of the cubic regularized proximal quasi-Newton method (\csr) for solving non-smooth additive composite problems that satisfy the so-called Kurdyka-\L ojasiewicz (K\L ) property with respect to some…

This work explores generalizations of the Polyak-Lojasiewicz inequality (PLI) and their implications for the convergence behavior of gradient flows in optimization problems. Motivated by the continuous-time linear quadratic regulator…

KV cache has become a de facto technique for the inference of large language models (LLMs), where tensors of shape (layer number, head number, sequence length, feature dimension) are introduced to cache historical information for…

The Lloyd-Max algorithm is a classical approach to perform K-means clustering. Unfortunately, its cost becomes prohibitive as the training dataset grows large. We propose a compressive version of K-means (CKM), that estimates cluster…

In discrete convex analysis, the scaling and proximity properties for the class of L$^\natural$-convex functions were established more than a decade ago and have been used to design efficient minimization algorithms. For the larger class of…

Near-field propagation in extremely large aperture arrays requires joint angle-range estimation. In hybrid architectures, only $N_\mathrm{RF}\ll M$ compressed snapshots are available per slot, making the $N_\mathrm{RF}\times N_\mathrm{RF}$…

Many problems in machine learning can be formulated as optimizing a convex functional over a vector space of measures. This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm in this infinite-dimensional setting. Defining Bregman…

The goal of image ordinal estimation is to estimate the ordinal label of a given image with a convolutional neural network. Existing methods are mainly based on ordinal regression and particularly focus on modeling the ordinal mapping from…

In this work, we address optimization problems where the objective function is a nonlinear function of an expected value, i.e., compositional stochastic {strongly convex programs}. We consider the case where the decision variable is not…

Let $K$ be a maximal lattice-free set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that is, $K$ is convex and closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the interior of $K$ does not cointain points of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $K$ is inclusion-maximal with respect to the above…

Nonconvex optimization problems are widespread in modern machine learning and data science. We introduce an extrapolation strategy into a class of preconditioned second-order convex splitting algorithms for nonconvex optimization problems.…

Theoretical estimates of the convergence rate of many well-known gradient-type optimization methods are based on quadratic interpolation, provided that the Lipschitz condition for the gradient is satisfied. In this article we obtain a…

The Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (P{\L}) condition is often invoked in nonconvex optimization because it allows fast convergence of algorithms beyond strong convexity. A function $f \colon \mathcal{M} \to \mathbb{R}$ on a Riemannian manifold…
