In this paper, a distributed convex optimization algorithm, termed \emph{distributed coordinate dual averaging} (DCDA) algorithm, is proposed. The DCDA algorithm addresses the scenario of a large distributed optimization problem with…

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a fundamental data preprocessing tool in the world of machine learning. While PCA is often thought of as a dimensionality reduction method, the purpose of PCA is actually two-fold: dimension reduction…

This paper revisits the convergence of Stochastic Mirror Descent (SMD) in the contemporary nonconvex optimization setting. Existing results for batch-free nonconvex SMD restrict the choice of the distance generating function (DGF) to be…

In this two-part work, we propose an algorithmic framework for solving non-convex problems whose objective function is the sum of a number of smooth component functions plus a convex (possibly non-smooth) or/and smooth (possibly non-convex)…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the well-known Dykstra's algorithm through the lens of proof-theoretical techniques. We provide an elementary proof for the convergence of Dykstra's algorithm in which the standard argument is stripped…

Oja's algorithm of principal component analysis (PCA) has been one of the methods utilized in practice to reduce dimension. In this paper, we focus on the convergence property of the discrete algorithm. To realize that, we view the…

We study streaming principal component analysis (PCA), that is to find, in $O(dk)$ space, the top $k$ eigenvectors of a $d\times d$ hidden matrix $\bf \Sigma$ with online vectors drawn from covariance matrix $\bf \Sigma$. We provide…

We provide a comprehensive study of the convergence of the forward-backward algorithm under suitable geometric conditions, such as conditioning or {\L}ojasiewicz properties. These geometrical notions are usually local by nature, and may…

Convex programming plays a fundamental role in machine learning, data science, and engineering. Testing convexity structure in nonlinear programs relies on verifying the convexity of objectives and constraints. Grant et al. (2006)…

Dynamic inner principal component analysis (DiPCA) is a powerful method for the analysis of time-dependent multivariate data. DiPCA extracts dynamic latent variables that capture the most dominant temporal trends by solving a large-scale,…

We present the Multi-Block DC (BDC) class, a rich class of structured nonconvex functions that admit a DC ("difference-of-convex") decomposition across parameter blocks. This multi-block class not only subsumes the usual DC programming, but…

This is a handbook of simple proofs of the convergence of gradient and stochastic gradient descent type methods. We consider functions that are Lipschitz, smooth, convex, strongly convex, and/or Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz functions. Our focus is…

In this work, we present and analyze C-SAGA, a (deterministic) cyclic variant of SAGA. C-SAGA is an incremental gradient method that minimizes a sum of differentiable convex functions by cyclically accessing their gradients. Even though the…

Bilevel programming has emerged as a valuable tool for hyperparameter selection, a central concern in machine learning. In a recent study by Ye et al. (2023), a value function-based difference of convex algorithm was introduced to address…

We continue to consider the discrete decreasing minimization problem on an integral base-polyhedron treated in Part I. The problem is to find a lexicographically minimal integral vector in an integral base-polyhedron, where the components…

In this paper, we consider smooth convex optimization problems with simple constraints and inexactness in the oracle information such as value, partial or directional derivatives of the objective function. We introduce a unifying framework,…

We consider the problem of decomposing a large covariance matrix into the sum of a low-rank matrix and a diagonally dominant matrix, and we call this problem the "Diagonally-Dominant Principal Component Analysis (DD-PCA)". DD-PCA is an…

We present the algorithmic details of the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) algorithm. The DCA is a fully-causal approach which systematically restores non-local correlations to the dynamical mean field approximation (DMFA). The DCA is…

This paper investigates domain generalization: How to take knowledge acquired from an arbitrary number of related domains and apply it to previously unseen domains? We propose Domain-Invariant Component Analysis (DICA), a kernel-based…

We prove global convergence of classical projection algorithms for feasibility problems involving union convex sets, which refer to sets expressible as the union of a finite number of closed convex sets. We present a unified strategy for…
