In this work we investigate stochastic non-convex optimization problems wherethe objective is an expectation over smooth loss functions, and the goal is to find an approximate stationary point. The most popular approach to handling such problems is varianc ...
As the size and complexity of models and datasets grow, so does the need for communication-efficient variants of stochastic gradient descent that can be deployed to perform parallel model training. One popular communication-compression method for data-para ...
We introduce the "continuized" Nesterov acceleration, a close variant of Nesterov acceleration whose variables are indexed by a continuous time parameter. The two variables continuously mix following a linear ordinary differential equation and take gradien ...
We present a new family of active surfaces for the semiautomatic segmentation of volumetric objects in 3D biomedical images. We represent our deformable model by a subdivision surface encoded by a small set of control points and generated through a geometr ...
In this paper we tackle the challenge of making the stochastic coordinate descent algorithm differentially private. Compared to the classical gradient descent algorithm where updates operate on a single model vector and controlled noise addition to this ve ...
The Quantum Fisher Information matrix (QFIM) is a central metric in promising algorithms, such as Quantum Natural Gradient Descent and Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution. Computing the full QFIM for a model with d parameters, however, is computat ...

Graphs offer a simple yet meaningful representation of relationships between data. Thisrepresentation is often used in machine learning algorithms in order to incorporate structuralor geometric information about data. However, it can also be used in an inv ...
We analyze the adaptive first order algorithm AMSGrad, for solving a constrained stochastic optimization problem with a weakly convex objective. We prove the O~(t−1/2) rate of convergence for the squared norm of the gradient of Moreau envelope, ...
Effective caching is crucial for performance of modern-day computing systems. A key optimization problem arising in caching – which item to evict to make room for a new item – cannot be optimally solved without knowing the future. There are many classical ...
Within integrated tokamak plasma modeling, turbulent transport codes are typically the computational bottleneck limiting their routine use outside of post-discharge analysis. Neural network (NN) surrogates have been used to accelerate these calculations wh ...
