In recent years, nonconvex minimax problems have attracted significant attention due to their broad applications in machine learning, including generative adversarial networks, robust optimization and adversarial training. Most existing…

Stochastic nonconvex optimization problems with nonlinear constraints have a broad range of applications in intelligent transportation, cyber-security, and smart grids. In this paper, first, we propose an inexact-proximal accelerated…

Introduced by Beck and Teboulle, FISTA (for Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm) is a first-order method widely used in convex optimization. Adapted from Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for convex functions, the generated…

In this paper, we present new stochastic methods for solving two important classes of nonconvex optimization problems. We first introduce a randomized accelerated proximal gradient (RapGrad) method for solving a class of nonconvex…

We propose an optimization method for minimizing the finite sums of smooth convex functions. Our method incorporates an accelerated gradient descent (AGD) and a stochastic variance reduction gradient (SVRG) in a mini-batch setting. Unlike…

We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of three convex functions: i) a smooth function $f$ in the form of an expectation or a finite average, ii) a non-smooth function $g$ in the form of a finite average of proximable functions…

Fair principal component analysis (FPCA), a ubiquitous dimensionality reduction technique in signal processing and machine learning, aims to find a low-dimensional representation for a high-dimensional dataset in view of fairness. The FPCA…

The total variation (TV) penalty, as many other analysis-sparsity problems, does not lead to separable factors or a proximal operatorwith a closed-form expression, such as soft thresholding for the $\ell\_1$ penalty. As a result, in a…

We propose ALFCG (Adaptive Lipschitz-Free Conditional Gradient), the first \textit{adaptive} projection-free framework for stochastic composite nonconvex minimization that \textit{requires neither global smoothness constants nor line…

The goal of this paper is to reduce the total complexity of gradient-based methods for two classes of problems: affine-constrained composite convex optimization and bilinear saddle-point structured non-smooth convex optimization. Our…

In this paper, we study a class of composite optimization problems whose objective function is given by the summation of a general smooth and nonsmooth component, together with a relatively simple nonsmooth term. While restart strategies…

In this paper, we generalize the well-known Nesterov's accelerated gradient (AG) method, originally designed for convex smooth optimization, to solve nonconvex and possibly stochastic optimization problems. We demonstrate that by properly…

In this paper, we revisit the class of iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithms (ISTA) for solving the linear inverse problem with sparse representation, which arises in signal and image processing. It is shown in the numerical…

The objective of this paper is to develop methods for solving image recovery problems subject to constraints on the solution. More precisely, we will be interested in problems which can be formulated as the minimization over a closed convex…

Convex-composite optimization, which minimizes an objective function represented by the sum of a differentiable function and a convex one, is widely used in machine learning and signal/image processing. Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding…

The forward-backward operator splitting algorithm is one of the most important methods for solving the optimization problem of the sum of two convex functions, where one is differentiable with a Lipschitz continuous gradient and the other…

Very recently, the papers "Point Convergence of Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient Method: An AI-Assisted Proof" by Jang and Ryu, and "The Iterates of Nesterov's Accelerated Algorithm Converge in the Critical Regimes" by Bot, Fadili, and…

In this paper we propose a variant of the random coordinate descent method for solving linearly constrained convex optimization problems with composite objective functions. If the smooth part of the objective function has Lipschitz…

We consider the optimization problem of the form $\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^d} f(x) \triangleq \mathbb{E}_{\xi} [F(x; \xi)]$, where the component $F(x;\xi)$ is $L$-mean-squared Lipschitz but possibly nonconvex and nonsmooth. The recently…

We propose a novel stochastic smoothing accelerated gradient (SSAG) method for general constrained nonsmooth convex composite optimization, and analyze the convergence rates. The SSAG method allows various smoothing techniques, and can deal…
