The optimization problem of sparse and low-rank matrix recovery is considered, which involves a least squares problem with a rank constraint and a cardinality constraint. To overcome the challenges posed by these constraints, an asymptotic…

Consistency regularization (CR) improves the robustness and accuracy of Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) by ensuring predictions remain stable across input perturbations. In this work, we propose Align-Consistency, an extension…

We describe an asynchronous parallel stochastic proximal coordinate descent algorithm for minimizing a composite objective function, which consists of a smooth convex function plus a separable convex function. In contrast to previous…

A new approach to the sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (sCCA)is proposed with the aim of discovering interpretable associations in very high-dimensional multi-view, i.e.observations of multiple sets of variables on the same subjects,…

A scaled conjugate gradient method that accelerates existing adaptive methods utilizing stochastic gradients is proposed for solving nonconvex optimization problems with deep neural networks. It is shown theoretically that, whether with…

We study the existence and the rate of equilibration of weak solutions to a two-component system of non-linear diffusion-aggregation equations, with small cross diffusion effects. The aggregation term is assumed to be purely attractive, and…

Stochastic Gradient Descent has been widely studied with classification accuracy as a performance measure. However, these stochastic algorithms cannot be directly used when non-decomposable pairwise performance measures are used such as…

We solve a weakly supervised regression problem. Under "weakly" we understand that for some training points the labels are known, for some unknown, and for others uncertain due to the presence of random noise or other reasons such as lack…

We study the problem of the existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions of reflected stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a minimality condition depending on the law of the solution (and not on the paths). We require that some…

We study the problem of minimizing a $m$-weakly convex and possibly nonsmooth function. Weak convexity provides a broad framework that subsumes convex, smooth, and many composite nonconvex functions. In this work, we propose a…
