While there has been a significant amount of work studying gradient descent techniques for non-convex optimization problems over the last few years, all existing results establish either local convergence with good rates or global…

Since the initial proposal in the late 80s, spectral gradient methods continue to receive significant attention, especially due to their excellent numerical performance on various large scale applications. However, to date, they have not…

We study a new two-time-scale stochastic gradient method for solving optimization problems, where the gradients are computed with the aid of an auxiliary variable under samples generated by time-varying MDPs controlled by the underlying…

Accelerated gradient descent iterations are widely used in optimization. It is known that, in the continuous-time limit, these iterations converge to a second-order differential equation which we refer to as the accelerated gradient flow.…

While much progress has been achieved over the last decades in neuro-inspired machine learning, there are still fundamental theoretical problems in gradient-based learning using combinations of neurons. These problems, such as saddle points…

The convergence of stochastic gradient descent is highly dependent on the step-size, especially on non-convex problems such as neural network training. Step decay step-size schedules (constant and then cut) are widely used in practice…

In this paper, we design and analyze a new family of adaptive subgradient methods for solving an important class of weakly convex (possibly nonsmooth) stochastic optimization problems. Adaptive methods that use exponential moving averages…

This work considers stepsize schedules for gradient descent on smooth convex objectives. We extend the existing literature and propose a unified technique for constructing stepsizes with analytic bounds for an arbitrary number of…

Under mild assumptions stochastic gradient methods asymptotically achieve an optimal rate of convergence if the arithmetic mean of all iterates is returned as an approximate optimal solution. However, in the absence of stochastic noise, the…

We consider variants of a recently-developed Newton-CG algorithm for nonconvex problems \citep{royer2018newton} in which inexact estimates of the gradient and the Hessian information are used for various steps. Under certain conditions on…

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 gradients. However,…

We develop universal gradient methods for Stochastic Convex Optimization (SCO). Our algorithms automatically adapt not only to the oracle's noise but also to the H\"older smoothness of the objective function without a priori knowledge of…

The stochastic gradient (SG) method can minimize an objective function composed of a large number of differentiable functions, or solve a stochastic optimization problem, to a moderate accuracy. The block coordinate descent/update (BCD)…

We present a new accelerated stochastic second-order method that is robust to both gradient and Hessian inexactness, which occurs typically in machine learning. We establish theoretical lower bounds and prove that our algorithm achieves…

In this article, we extend our previous work (Applicable Analysis, 2024, pp. 1-25) on the steepest descent method for uncertain multiobjective optimization problems. While that study established local convergence, it did not address global…

An appealing property of the natural gradient is that it is invariant to arbitrary differentiable reparameterizations of the model. However, this invariance property requires infinitesimal steps and is lost in practical implementations with…

Recently, Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and its variants have become the dominant methods in the large-scale optimization of machine learning (ML) problems. A variety of strategies have been proposed for tuning the step sizes, ranging…

In this paper, we propose a generalized conditional gradient method for multiobjective optimization, which can be viewed as an improved extension of the classical Frank-Wolfe (conditional gradient) method for single-objective optimization.…

In recent years, a variety of gradient-based methods have been developed to solve Bi-Level Optimization (BLO) problems in machine learning and computer vision areas. However, the theoretical correctness and practical effectiveness of these…

In this paper, we propose an adaptive stopping rule for kernel-based gradient descent (KGD) algorithms. We introduce the empirical effective dimension to quantify the increments of iterations in KGD and derive an implementable early…
