Recently, Stochastic Variational Inference (SVI) has been increasingly attractive thanks to its ability to find good posterior approximations of probabilistic models. It optimizes the variational objective with stochastic optimization,…
This paper is focused on a stochastic quasi-variational inequality (SQVI) problem with a continuous and strongly-monotone mapping over a closed and convex set where the projection onto the constraint set may not be easy to compute. We…
In this paper, we consider multi-stage stochastic optimization problems with convex objectives and conic constraints at each stage. We present a new stochastic first-order method, namely the dynamic stochastic approximation (DSA) algorithm,…
This paper establishes the convergence properties of the Popov mirror-prox algorithm for solving stochastic and deterministic variational inequalities (VIs) under a polynomial growth condition on the mapping variation. Unlike existing…
We develop two novel stochastic variance-reduction methods to approximate solutions of a class of nonmonotone [generalized] equations. Our algorithms leverage a new combination of ideas from the forward-reflected-backward splitting method…
Stochastic variational inference (SVI) lets us scale up Bayesian computation to massive data. It uses stochastic optimization to fit a variational distribution, following easy-to-compute noisy natural gradients. As with most traditional…
In this work, we present new simple and optimal algorithms for solving the variational inequality (VI) problem for $p^{th}$-order smooth, monotone operators -- a problem that generalizes convex optimization and saddle-point problems. Recent…
In this paper, we introduce a multilevel algorithm for approximating variational formulations of symmetric saddle point systems. The algorithm is based on availability of families of stable finite element pairs and on the availability of…
We propose a novel methodology for solving a two-stage adjustable robust convex optimisation problem with a general (proximable) convex objective function and constraints defined by sum-of-squares (SOS) convex polynomials. These problems…
This paper introduces a deep learning method for solving an elliptic hemivariational inequality (HVI). In this method, an expectation minimization problem is first formulated based on the variational principle of underlying HVI, which is…
The Sequential Fully Implicit (SFI) method was proposed to simulate coupled immiscible multiphase fluid flow in porous media. Later, it was extended to the black-oil model, whereby the gas component is allowed to dissolve in the oil phase.…
Two-stage stochastic linear optimization is known to be #P-hard when all involved random variables are independently and uniformly distributed over intervals, even with fixed recourse. We show that this problem is actually #P-hard in the…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of stochastic multi-level compositional optimization, where the objective function is a composition of multiple smooth but possibly non-convex functions. Existing methods for solving this problem…
In this paper, we consider a stochastic decision problem for a system governed by a stochastic differential equation, in which an optimal decision is made in such a way to minimize a vector-valued accumulated cost over a finite-time horizon…
Motivated by multi-user optimization problems and non-cooperative Nash games in stochastic regimes, we consider stochastic variational inequality (SVI) problems on matrix spaces where the variables are positive semidefinite matrices and the…
In this paper we study a class of split variational inclusion (SVI) and regularized split variational inclusion (RSVI) problems in real Hilbert spaces. We discuss various analytical properties of the net generated by the RSVI and establish…
Motivated by problems arising in decentralized control problems and non-cooperative Nash games, we consider a class of strongly monotone Cartesian variational inequality (VI) problems, where the mappings either contain expectations or their…
The matching problem plays a basic role in combinatorial optimization and in statistical mechanics. In its stochastic variants, optimization decisions have to be taken given only some probabilistic information about the instance. While the…
This paper extends split variational inclusion problems to dynamic, stochastic, and multi-agent systems in Banach spaces. We propose novel iterative algorithms to handle stochastic noise, time-varying operators, and coupled variational…
We consider a stochastic Inverse Variational Inequality (IVI) problem defined by a continuous and co-coercive map over a closed and convex set. Motivated by the absence of performance guarantees for stochastic IVI, we present a…
