The recovery of magnetic resonance (MR) images from undersampled measurements is a key problem that has seen extensive research in recent years. Unrolled approaches, which rely on end-to-end training of convolutional neural network (CNN)…

Acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans can be accelerated by under-sampling in k-space (i.e., the Fourier domain). In this paper, we consider the problem of optimizing the sub-sampling pattern in a data-driven fashion. Since…

Recent empirical research has demonstrated that deep learning optimizers based on the linear minimization oracle (LMO) over specifically chosen Non-Euclidean norm balls, such as Muon and Scion, outperform Adam-type methods in the training…

Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization has become increasingly popular and important in fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), especially on edge devices due to its ability to adjust the model to local data without the need for memory-intensive…

Most first-order optimizers treat matrix-valued parameters as vectors, ignoring the intrinsic geometry of hidden-layer weights in neural networks. Muon addresses this mismatch by updating along the polar factor of a momentum matrix, but its…

Preconditioning has long been a staple technique in optimization, often applied to reduce the condition number of a matrix and speed up the convergence of algorithms. Although there are many popular preconditioning techniques in practice,…

End-to-end deep learning has achieved impressive results but remains limited by its reliance on large labeled datasets, poor generalization to unseen scenarios, and growing computational demands. In contrast, classical optimization methods…

Structural pruning techniques are essential for deploying multimodal large language models (MLLMs) across various hardware platforms, from edge devices to cloud servers. However, current pruning methods typically determine optimal…

Muon orthogonalizes the momentum buffer before each update, replacing its singular values with ones via Newton-Schulz iterations. This simple change lets Muon tolerate far larger learning rates and converge faster than other optimizers, but…

A regularized minimization model with $l_1$-norm penalty (RP) is introduced for training the autoencoders that belong to a class of two-layer neural networks. We show that the RP can act as an exact penalty model which shares the same…

The Newton-Schulz (NS) iteration has become a key technique for orthogonalization in optimizers such as Muon and for optimization on the Stiefel manifold. Despite its effectiveness, the conventional NS iteration incurs significant…

Monotonicity constraints are powerful regularizers in statistical modelling. They can support fairness in computer-aided decision making and increase plausibility in data-driven scientific models. The seminal min-max (MM) neural network…
