In neural network training, RMSProp and Adam remain widely favoured optimisation algorithms. One of the keys to their performance lies in selecting the correct step size, which can significantly influence their effectiveness. Additionally,…

Gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent are central to modern machine learning, yet their behavior under large step sizes remains theoretically unclear. Recent work suggests that acceleration often arises near the edge of…

We propose an accelerated block proximal linear framework with adaptive momentum (ABPL$^+$) for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization. We analyze the potential causes of the extrapolation step failing in some algorithms, and resolve this…

This paper considers distributed stochastic optimization, in which a number of agents cooperate to optimize a global objective function through local computations and information exchanges with neighbors over a network. Stochastic…

We study Frank-Wolfe methods for nonconvex stochastic and finite-sum optimization problems. Frank-Wolfe methods (in the convex case) have gained tremendous recent interest in machine learning and optimization communities due to their…

Despite the great success in Natural Language Processing (NLP) area, large pre-trained language models like BERT are not well-suited for resource-constrained or real-time applications owing to the large number of parameters and slow…

We address a large-scale and nonconvex optimization problem, involving an aggregative term. This term can be interpreted as the sum of the contributions of N agents to some common good, with N large. We investigate a relaxation of this…

We present a new step-size strategy based on the secant method for Frank-Wolfe algorithms. This strategy, which requires mild assumptions about the function under consideration, can be applied to any Frank-Wolfe algorithm. It is as…

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…

The "Inertial Forward-Backward algorithm" (IFB) is a powerful tool for convex nonsmooth minimization problems, it gives the well known "fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm " (FISTA), which enjoys $O\left( {\frac{1}{{{k^2}}}}…

The Conditional Gradient (or Frank-Wolfe) method is one of the most well-known methods for solving constrained optimization problems appearing in various machine learning tasks. The simplicity of iteration and applicability to many…

Learning representation from relative similarity comparisons, often called ordinal embedding, gains rising attention in recent years. Most of the existing methods are based on semi-definite programming (\textit{SDP}), which is generally…

In this paper, we revisit the convergence of the Heavy-ball method, and present improved convergence complexity results in the convex setting. We provide the first non-ergodic O(1/k) rate result of the Heavy-ball algorithm with constant…

We consider convex optimization problems which are widely used as convex relaxations for low-rank matrix recovery problems. In particular, in several important problems, such as phase retrieval and robust PCA, the underlying assumption in…

We propose a randomized multiplicative weight update (MWU) algorithm for $\ell_{\infty}$ regression that runs in $\widetilde{O}\left(n^{2+1/22.5} \text{poly}(1/\epsilon)\right)$ time when $\omega = 2+o(1)$, improving upon the previous best…

It is known in \cite{beccari} that the standard explicit Euler-type scheme (such as the exponential Euler and the linear-implicit Euler schemes) with a uniform timestep, though computationally efficient, may diverge for the stochastic…

Recently the away-step Frank-Wolfe algoritm for constrained multiobjective optimization has been shown linear convergence rate over a polytope which is generated by finite points set. In this paper we design a decomposition-invariant…

The low-rank adaptation (LoRA) algorithm for fine-tuning large models has grown popular in recent years due to its remarkable performance and low computational requirements. LoRA trains two ``adapter" matrices that form a low-rank…

This paper proves an impossibility result for stochastic network utility maximization for multi-user wireless systems, including multiple access and broadcast systems. Every time slot an access point observes the current channel states for…

Practitioners of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) may hesitate to use random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithms, especially variable-at-a-time algorithms with many parameters, because these algorithms require users to select values of…
