Adam Algorithm with Step Adaptation

open access: yesAlgorithms
Adam (Adaptive Moment Estimation) is a well-known algorithm for the first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments.

Semi-Cyclic Stochastic Gradient Descent

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
We consider convex SGD updates with a block-cyclic structure, i.e. where each cycle consists of a small number of blocks, each with many samples from a possibly different, block-specific, distribution. This situation arises, e.g., in Federated Learning where the mobile devices available for updates at different times during the day have different ...

A Bootstrap Perspective on Stochastic Gradient Descent

open access: yesCoRR
Machine learning models trained with \emph{stochastic} gradient descent (SGD) can generalize better than those trained with deterministic gradient descent (GD). In this work, we study SGD's impact on generalization through the lens of the statistical bootstrap: SGD uses gradient variability under batch sampling as a proxy for solution variability under

Convergence of Stochastic Gradient Descent for PCA

open access: yesCoRR, 2015
We consider the problem of principal component analysis (PCA) in a streaming stochastic setting, where our goal is to find a direction of approximate maximal variance, based on a stream of i.i.d. data points in $\reals^d$. A simple and computationally cheap algorithm for this is stochastic gradient descent (SGD), which incrementally updates its ...

Emergent universal long-range structure in random-organizing systems

open access: yesNature Communications
Self-organization through noisy interactions is ubiquitous across physics, mathematics, and machine learning, yet how long-range structure emerges from local noisy dynamics remains poorly understood.

Stochastic Gradient Descent for Kernel-Based Maximum Correntropy Criterion

open access: yesEntropy
Maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) has been an important method in machine learning and signal processing communities since it was successfully applied in various non-Gaussian noise scenarios.

Mini-Batch Pruning Techniques in Stochastic Gradient Descent Methods

open access: yesMathematics
Mini-batch Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a standard optimization method for training neural networks and other large-scale parametric models. We study three loss-based mini-batch pruning strategies—Perceptron-Inspired SGD (PISGD), Pruning SGD ...

Mixing of Stochastic Accelerated Gradient Descent

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
We study the mixing properties for stochastic accelerated gradient descent (SAGD) on least-squares regression. First, we show that stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and SAGD are simulating the same invariant distribution. Motivated by this, we then establish mixing rate for SAGD-iterates and compare it with those of SGD-iterates.
