In this paper, we consider non-smooth stochastic convex optimization with two function evaluations per round under infinite noise variance. In the classical setting when noise has finite variance, an optimal algorithm, built upon the…
We study convergence of the iterative projected gradient (IPG) algorithm for arbitrary (possibly nonconvex) sets and when both the gradient and projection oracles are computed approximately. We consider different notions of approximation of…
In this paper we present a complete iteration complexity analysis of inexact first order Lagrangian and penalty methods for solving cone constrained convex problems that have or may not have optimal Lagrange multipliers that close the…
In this paper, it was proposed a new concept of the inexact higher degree $(\delta, L, q)$-model of a function that is a generalization of the inexact $(\delta, L)$-model, $(\delta, L)$-oracle and $(\delta, L)$-oracle of degree $q \in…
In this paper, we develop a unified framework for analyzing the tracking error and dynamic regret of inexact online optimization methods under a variety of settings. Specifically, we leverage the quadratic constraint approach from control…
This paper considers the problem of unconstrained minimization of smooth convex functions having Lipschitz continuous gradients with known Lipschitz constant. We recently proposed an optimized gradient method (OGM) for this problem and…
In this paper, we provide the universal first-order methods of Composite Optimization with new complexity analysis. It delivers some universal convergence guarantees, which are not linked directly to any parametric problem class. However,…
This thesis focuses on developing and analyzing accelerated and inexact first-order methods for solving or finding stationary points of various nonconvex composite optimization (NCO) problems. The main tools mainly come from variational and…
This paper optimizes the step coefficients of first-order methods for smooth convex minimization in terms of the worst-case convergence bound (i.e., efficiency) of the decrease in the gradient norm. This work is based on the performance…
In this paper, we present a unified and general framework for analyzing the batch updating approach to nonlinear, high-dimensional optimization. The framework encompasses all the currently used batch updating approaches, and is applicable…
We present a method for solving general nonconvex-strongly-convex bilevel optimization problems. Our method -- the \emph{Restarted Accelerated HyperGradient Descent} (\texttt{RAHGD}) method -- finds an $\epsilon$-first-order stationary…
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,…
This work proposes a framework, embedded within the Performance Estimation framework (PEP), for obtaining worst-case performance guarantees on stochastic first-order methods. Given a first-order method, a function class, and a noise model…
Recently, minimax optimization received renewed focus due to modern applications in machine learning, robust optimization, and reinforcement learning. The scale of these applications naturally leads to the use of first-order methods.…
We investigate the Randomized Stochastic Accelerated Gradient (RSAG) method, utilizing either constant or adaptive step sizes, for stochastic optimization problems with generalized smooth objective functions. Under relaxed affine variance…
We consider minimization of a smooth nonconvex function with inexact oracle access to gradient and Hessian (without assuming access to the function value) to achieve approximate second-order optimality. A novel feature of our method is that…
The Optimized Gradient Method (OGM), its strongly convex extension, the Information Theoretical Exact Method (ITEM), as well as the related Triple Momentum Method (TMM) have superior convergence guarantees when compared to the Fast Gradient…
We provide a novel accelerated first-order method that achieves the asymptotically optimal convergence rate for smooth functions in the first-order oracle model. To this day, Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient Descent (AGD) and variations…
We study the gradient method under the assumption that an additively inexact gradient is available for, generally speaking, non-convex problems. The non-convexity of the objective function, as well as the use of an inexactness specified…
It is well-known that accelerated gradient first-order methods possess optimal complexity estimates for the class of convex smooth minimization problems. In many practical situations it makes sense to work with inexact gradient information.…
