Training a neural network (NN) typically relies on some type of curve-following method, such as gradient descent (GD) (and stochastic gradient descent (SGD)), ADADELTA, ADAM or limited memory algorithms. Convergence for these algorithms…

As a representative continuous-depth neural network approach, stochastic differential equation (SDE)-based Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) have attracted considerable attention due to their solid theoretical foundations and strong potential…

In deep learning, different kinds of deep networks typically need different optimizers, which have to be chosen after multiple trials, making the training process inefficient. To relieve this issue and consistently improve the model…

Nesterov's accelerated gradient method (NAG) achieves faster convergence than gradient descent for convex optimization but lacks monotonicity in function values. To address this, Beck and Teboulle [2009b] proposed a monotonic variant,…

A significant milestone in modern gradient-based optimization was achieved with the development of Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent (NAG) method. This forward-backward technique has been further advanced with the introduction of its…

The high-resolution differential equation framework has been proven to be tailor-made for Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent method~(\texttt{NAG}) and its proximal correspondence -- the class of faster iterative shrinkage thresholding…

Heavy ball momentum is crucial in accelerating (stochastic) gradient-based optimization algorithms for machine learning. Existing heavy ball momentum is usually weighted by a uniform hyperparameter, which relies on excessive tuning.…

Lookahead-based acceleration methods, such as Nesterov's momentum, are widely used in optimization, but they often become unreliable in deep learning training mainly due to stochastic gradient noise and non-convex loss landscapes. In…

The optimization step in many machine learning problems rarely relies on vanilla gradient descent but it is common practice to use momentum-based accelerated methods. Despite these algorithms being widely applied to arbitrary loss…

Variance reduction is a crucial tool for improving the slow convergence of stochastic gradient descent. Only a few variance-reduced methods, however, have yet been shown to directly benefit from Nesterov's acceleration techniques to match…
