Optimization over low rank matrices has broad applications in machine learning. For large scale problems, an attractive heuristic is to factorize the low rank matrix to a product of two much smaller matrices. In this paper, we study the…

The Polyak stepsize has been widely used in subgradient methods for non-smooth convex optimization. However, calculating the stepsize requires the optimal value, which is generally unknown. Therefore, dynamic estimations of the optimal…
