This paper establishes an approximation theorem for randomized neural networks (RaNNs) whose hidden-layer parameters are uniformly sampled from a prescribed bounded domain. Our analysis shows that, for RaNNs of the form $\mathop{\sum}_i W_i…

We study optimization of finite sums of geodesically smooth functions on Riemannian manifolds. Although variance reduction techniques for optimizing finite-sums have witnessed tremendous attention in the recent years, existing work is…

We develop a geometric convergence theory for neural-network optimization within the minimizing movement scheme (MMS) framework. Reformulating each neural MMS step as a minimization over the set of increments in a Hilbert space, we show…

It was shown recently by Su et al. (2016) that Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for minimizing a smooth convex function $f$ can be thought of as the time discretization of a second-order ODE, and that $f(x(t))$ converges to its…

We introduce a Riemannian optimistic online learning algorithm for Hadamard manifolds based on inexact implicit updates. Unlike prior work, our method can handle in-manifold constraints, and matches the best known regret bounds in the…

Embedding parameterized optimization problems as layers into machine learning architectures serves as a powerful inductive bias. Training such architectures with stochastic gradient descent requires care, as degenerate derivatives of the…

Optimization is essential in deep learning. The foundational method upon which most optimizers are built is momentum-based stochastic gradient descent. However, it suffers from two key drawbacks. First, it has noisy and varying gradients,…

Computational optimal transport (OT) offers a principled framework for generative modeling. Neural OT methods, which use neural networks to learn an OT map (or potential) from data in an amortized way, can be evaluated out of sample after…

We study the least-energy way to reshape a probability distribution when motion is constrained to a horizontal bundle, that is, optimal transport and distribution steering in sub-Riemannian geometry, motivated by density control over…

Stochastic optimisation in Riemannian manifolds, especially the Riemannian stochastic gradient method, has attracted much recent attention. The present work applies stochastic optimisation to the task of recursive estimation of a…

Grassmannian manifold offers a powerful carrier for geometric representation learning by modelling high-dimensional data as low-dimensional subspaces. However, existing approaches predominantly rely on static single-subspace…

We analyze inexact Riemannian gradient descent (RGD) where Riemannian gradients and retractions are inexactly (and cheaply) computed. Our focus is on understanding when inexact RGD converges and what is the complexity in the general…
