The orthogonal group synchronization problem, which focuses on recovering orthogonal group elements from their corrupted pairwise measurements, encompasses examples such as high-dimensional Kuramoto model on general signed networks,…

Motivated by a constrained minimization problem, it is studied the gradient flows with respect to Hessian Riemannian metrics induced by convex functions of Legendre type. The first result characterizes Hessian Riemannian structures on…

When solving large scale semidefinite programs that admit a low-rank solution, an efficient heuristic is the Burer-Monteiro factorization: instead of optimizing over the full matrix, one optimizes over its low-rank factors. This reduces the…

Projected gradient descent and its Riemannian variant belong to a typical class of methods for low-rank matrix estimation. This paper proposes a new Nesterov's Accelerated Riemannian Gradient algorithm by efficient orthographic retraction…

The Bayesian learning rule is a natural-gradient variational inference method, which not only contains many existing learning algorithms as special cases but also enables the design of new algorithms. Unfortunately, when variational…

This paper proposes a Riemannian Multiobjective Proximal Gradient Method (RMPGM) for composite optimization problems on manifolds. Unlike scalarization-based approaches, the proposed framework directly handles vector-valued objectives and…

The Trust Region Subproblem is a fundamental optimization problem that takes a pivotal role in Trust Region Methods. However, the problem, and variants of it, also arise in quite a few other applications. In this article, we present a…

Gradient descent with momentum has been widely applied in various signal processing and machine learning tasks, demonstrating a notable empirical advantage over standard gradient descent. However, momentum-based distributed Riemannian…

This paper considers the optimization problem in the form of $\min_{X \in \mathcal{F}_v} f(x) + \lambda \|X\|_1,$ where $f$ is smooth, $\mathcal{F}_v = \{X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times q} : X^T X = I_q, v \in \mathrm{span}(X)\}$, and $v$ is a…

We address the rectangular matrix completion problem by lifting the unknown matrix to a positive semidefinite matrix in higher dimension, and optimizing a nonconvex objective over the semidefinite factor using a simple gradient descent…

By concisely representing a joint function of many variables as the combination of small functions, discrete graphical models (GMs) provide a powerful framework to analyze stochastic and deterministic systems of interacting variables. One…

Variance reduction techniques are popular in accelerating gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent for optimization problems defined on both Euclidean space and Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we further improve on existing…

We develop subgradient- and gradient-based methods for minimizing strongly convex functions under a notion which generalizes the standard Euclidean strong convexity. We propose a unifying framework for subgradient methods which yields two…

Variance parameter estimation in linear mixed models is a challenge for many classical nonlinear optimization algorithms due to the positive-definiteness constraint of the random effects covariance matrix. We take a completely novel view on…

We study a generalized nonconvex Burer-Monteiro formulation for low-rank minimization problems. We use recent results on non-Euclidean first order methods to provide efficient and scalable algorithms. Our approach uses geometries induced by…

This paper presents new Riemannian conjugate gradient methods and global convergence analyses under the strong Wolfe conditions. The main idea of the new methods is to combine the good global convergence properties of the Dai-Yuan method…

In recent years, the proximal gradient method and its variants have been generalized to Riemannian manifolds for solving optimization problems with an additively separable structure, i.e., $f + h$, where $f$ is continuously differentiable,…

The natural gradient method is widely used in statistical optimization, but its standard formulation assumes a Euclidean parameter space. This paper proposes an inversion-free stochastic natural gradient method for probability distributions…
