In this work, we propose a generalized alternating Anderson acceleration method, a periodic scheme composed of $t$ fixed-point iteration steps, interleaved with $s$ steps of Anderson acceleration with window size $m$, to solve linear and…

We extend the standard notion of self-concordance to non-convex optimization and develop a family of second-order algorithms with global convergence guarantees. In particular, two function classes -- \textit{weakly self-concordant}…

Functional constrained optimization is becoming more and more important in machine learning and operations research. Such problems have potential applications in risk-averse machine learning, semisupervised learning, and robust optimization…

Operator splitting schemes have been successfully used in computational sciences to reduce complex problems into a series of simpler subproblems. Since 1950s, these schemes have been widely used to solve problems in PDE and control.…

In this paper we consider large-scale smooth optimization problems with multiple linear coupled constraints. Due to the non-separability of the constraints, arbitrary random sketching would not be guaranteed to work. Thus, we first…

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,…

Many practical problems involve the recovery of a binary matrix from partial information, which makes the binary matrix completion (BMC) technique received increasing attention in machine learning. In particular, we consider a special case…

Anderson Acceleration (AA) is a method to accelerate the convergence of fixed point iterations for nonlinear, algebraic systems of equations. Due to the requirement of solving a least squares problem at each iteration and a reliance on…

We study a stochastic and distributed algorithm for nonconvex problems whose objective consists of a sum of $N$ nonconvex $L_i/N$-smooth functions, plus a nonsmooth regularizer. The proposed NonconvEx primal-dual SpliTTing (NESTT) algorithm…
