In this paper, we analyze the convergence of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) on convex quadratic programs (QPs) with linear equality and bound constraints. The ADMM formulation alternates between an equality constrained…

Incorporating a non-Euclidean variable metric to first-order algorithms is known to bring enhancement. However, due to the lack of an optimal choice, such an enhancement appears significantly underestimated. In this work, we establish a…

Convex quadratic programming (QP) is an important sub-field of mathematical optimization. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is a successful method to solve QP. Even though ADMM shows promising results in solving various…

Maximum consensus estimation plays a critically important role in robust fitting problems in computer vision. Currently, the most prevalent algorithms for consensus maximization draw from the class of randomized hypothesize-and-verify…

In this paper, we establish the convergence properties for a majorized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for linearly constrained convex optimization problems whose objectives contain coupled functions. Our convergence…

This paper studies efficient distributed optimization methods for multi-agent networks. Specifically, we consider a convex optimization problem with a globally coupled linear equality constraint and local polyhedra constraints, and develop…

This paper deals with nonconvex stochastic optimization problems in deep learning and provides appropriate learning rates with which adaptive learning rate optimization algorithms, such as Adam and AMSGrad, can approximate a stationary…

In large-scale learning algorithms, the momentum term is usually included in the stochastic sub-gradient method to improve the learning speed because it can navigate ravines efficiently to reach a local minimum. However, step-size and…

In this paper, we establish new convergence results for the quantized distributed gradient descent and suggest a novel strategy of choosing the stepsizes for the high-performance of the algorithm. Under the strongly convexity assumption on…

In this paper we propose a class of randomized primal-dual methods to contend with large-scale saddle point problems defined by a convex-concave function $\mathcal{L}(\mathbf{x},y)\triangleq\sum_{i=1}^m f_i(x_i)+\Phi(\mathbf{x},y)-h(y)$. We…

Adam is one of the most popular optimization algorithms in deep learning. However, it is known that Adam does not converge in theory unless choosing a hyperparameter, i.e., $\beta_2$, in a problem-dependent manner. There have been many…

We provide new gradient-based methods for efficiently solving a broad class of ill-conditioned optimization problems. We consider the problem of minimizing a function $f : \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which is implicitly…

We consider a class of Riemannian optimization problems where the objective is the sum of a smooth function and a nonsmooth function, considered in the ambient space. This class of problems finds important applications in machine learning…

The fundamental matrix can be estimated from point matches. The current gold standard is to bootstrap the eight-point algorithm and two-view projective bundle adjustment. The eight-point algorithm first computes a simple linear least…

We propose new methods to speed up convergence of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), a common optimization tool in the context of large scale and distributed learning. The proposed method accelerates the speed of…

We consider double-regularized nonconvex-strongly concave (NCSC) minimax problems of the form $(P):\min_{x\in\mathcal{X}} \max_{y\in\mathcal{Y}}g(x)+f(x,y)-h(y)$, where $g$, $h$ are closed convex, $f$ is $L$-smooth in $(x,y)$ and strongly…

We present a framework for adaptive-stepsize MCMC sampling based on time-rescaled Langevin dynamics, in which the stepsize variation is dynamically driven by an additional degree of freedom. Our approach augments the phase space by an…

This paper tackles the challenging problem of finding global optimal solutions for two-stage stochastic programs with continuous decision variables and nonconvex recourse functions. We introduce a two-phase approach. The first phase…

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm is a powerful and flexible tool for complex optimization problems of the form $\min\{f(x)+g(y) : Ax+By=c\}$. ADMM exhibits robust empirical performance across a range of…

This paper aims to present a fairly accessible generalization of several symmetric Gauss-Seidel decomposition based multi-block proximal alternating direction methods of multipliers (ADMMs) for convex composite optimization problems. The…
