Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technology which meets the demands of massive connectivity in future wireless networks. Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a popular code-domain NOMA technique. The effectiveness of…

This paper proposes a new family of algorithms for training neural networks (NNs). These are based on recent developments in the field of non-convex optimization, going under the general name of successive convex approximation (SCA)…

Approximations of functions with finite data often do not respect certain "structural" properties of the functions. For example, if a given function is non-negative, a polynomial approximation of the function is not necessarily also…

Many effective solutions have been proposed to reduce the redundancy of models for inference acceleration. Nevertheless, common approaches mostly focus on eliminating less important filters or constructing efficient operations, while…

This paper studies a fundamental problem in convex optimization, which is to solve semidefinite programming (SDP) with high accuracy. This paper follows from the existing robust SDP-based interior point method analysis due to [Huang, Jiang,…

In this paper, we consider two sequential decision making problems with a convexity structure, namely an energy storage optimization task and a multi-product assembly example. We formulate these problems in the stochastic programming…

Stochastic gradient descent type methods are ubiquitous in machine learning, but they are only applicable to the optimization of differentiable functions. Proximal algorithms are more general and applicable to nonsmooth functions. We…

We present a new Beamforming-based (BB) Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO)-Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme for Power Domain NOMA (PD-NOMA), in which the total transmit power consumption is minimized subjected to prescribed…

Low-rank matrix approximation (LRMA) is a powerful technique for signal processing and pattern analysis. However, its potential for data compression has not yet been fully investigated in the literature. In this paper, we propose sparse…

The efficiency of modern optimization methods, coupled with increasing computational resources, has led to the possibility of real-time optimization algorithms acting in safety critical roles. There is a considerable body of mathematical…

Establishing accurate point-to-point correspondences between non-rigid 3D shapes remains a critical challenge, particularly under non-isometric deformations and topological noise. Existing functional map pipelines suffer from ambiguities…

Quadratic cone programs are rapidly becoming the standard canonical form for convex optimization problems. In this paper we address the question of differentiating the solution map for such problems, generalizing previous work for linear…

Federated learning (FL) has become a hot research area in enabling the collaborative training of machine learning models among multiple clients that hold sensitive local data. Nevertheless, unconstrained federated optimization has been…

The study of convex optimization has historically been concerned with worst-case convergence rates. The development of the Optimized Gradient Method (OGM), due to \citet{drori2012PerformanceOF,Kim2016optimal}, marked a major milestone in…

A recent line of ground-breaking results for permutation-based SGD has corroborated a widely observed phenomenon: random permutations offer faster convergence than with-replacement sampling. However, is random optimal? We show that this…

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) to align with human preferences has driven the success of systems such as Gemini and ChatGPT. However, approaches like Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) remain computationally…

In this paper we consider the difference-of-convex (DC) programming problems, whose objective function is the difference of two convex functions. The classical DC Algorithm (DCA) is well-known for solving this kind of problems, which…

The worst-case robust adaptive beamforming problem for general-rank signal model is considered. Its formulation is to maximize the worst-case signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), incorporating a positive semidefinite constraint…

We propose an interior point method (IPM) for solving semidefinite programming problems (SDPs). The standard interior point algorithms used to solve SDPs work in the space of positive semidefinite matrices. Contrary to that the proposed…

Sign-based algorithms (e.g. signSGD) have been proposed as a biased gradient compression technique to alleviate the communication bottleneck in training large neural networks across multiple workers. We show simple convex counter-examples…
