Recently, there has been significant progress in understanding the convergence and generalization properties of gradient-based methods for training overparameterized learning models. However, many aspects including the role of small random…

We study the robust recovery of a low-rank matrix from sparsely and grossly corrupted Gaussian measurements, with no prior knowledge on the intrinsic rank. We consider the robust matrix factorization approach. We employ a robust $\ell_1$…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) still is the workhorse for many practical problems. However, it converges slow, and can be difficult to tune. It is possible to precondition SGD to accelerate its convergence remarkably. But many attempts…

We consider whether algorithmic choices in over-parameterized linear matrix factorization introduce implicit regularization. We focus on noiseless matrix sensing over rank-$r$ positive semi-definite (PSD) matrices in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times…

Accelerated algorithms have broad applications in large-scale optimization, due to their generality and fast convergence. However, their stability in the practical setting of noise-corrupted gradient oracles is not well-understood. This…

We propose an efficient ADMM method with guarantees for high-dimensional problems. We provide explicit bounds for the sparse optimization problem and the noisy matrix decomposition problem. For sparse optimization, we establish that the…

We study the proximal gradient descent (PGD) method for $\ell^{0}$ sparse approximation problem as well as its accelerated optimization with randomized algorithms in this paper. We first offer theoretical analysis of PGD showing the bounded…

In the paper, we propose a class of faster adaptive Gradient Descent Ascent (GDA) methods for solving the nonconvex-strongly-concave minimax problems by using the unified adaptive matrices, which include almost all existing coordinate-wise…

This paper proposes and analyzes a gradient-type algorithm based on Burer-Monteiro factorization, called the Asymmetric Projected Gradient Descent (APGD), for reconstructing the point set configuration from partial Euclidean distance…

Gradient descent is an important class of iterative algorithms for minimizing convex functions. Classically, gradient descent has been a sequential and synchronous process. Distributed and asynchronous variants of gradient descent have been…

We show that the gradient descent algorithm provides an implicit regularization effect in the learning of over-parameterized matrix factorization models and one-hidden-layer neural networks with quadratic activations. Concretely, we show…

Alternating least squares (ALS) is often considered the workhorse algorithm for computing the rank-R canonical tensor approximation, but for certain problems its convergence can be very slow. The nonlinear conjugate gradient (NCG) method…

While Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient Descent (AGD) efficiently solves constrained problems when the constraint set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is simple and easy to project onto, it remains an open question whether function-constrained…

This paper provides a unified treatment to the recovery of structured signals living in a star-shaped set from general quantized measurements $\mathcal{Q}(\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{\tau})$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a sensing matrix,…

This paper presents a novel algorithm that leverages Stochastic Gradient Descent strategies in conjunction with Random Features to augment the scalability of Conic Particle Gradient Descent (CPGD) specifically tailored for solving sparse…

We study the problem of symmetric matrix completion, where the goal is to reconstruct a positive semidefinite matrix $\rm{X}^\star \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$ of rank-$r$, parameterized by $\rm{U}\rm{U}^{\top}$, from only a subset of its…

Matrix sensing has many real-world applications in science and engineering, such as system control, distance embedding, and computer vision. The goal of matrix sensing is to recover a matrix $A_\star \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, based on a…

Adaptive gradient methods are typically used for training over-parameterized models. To better understand their behaviour, we study a simplistic setting -- smooth, convex losses with models over-parameterized enough to interpolate the data.…

The matrix completion problem seeks to recover a $d\times d$ ground truth matrix of low rank $r\ll d$ from observations of its individual elements. Real-world matrix completion is often a huge-scale optimization problem, with $d$ so large…

The projected gradient descent (PGD) method has shown to be effective in recovering compressed signals described in a data-driven way by a generative model, i.e., a generator which has learned the data distribution. Further reconstruction…
