Convex Optimization using Sparsified Stochastic Gradient Descent with Memory

Jean-Baptiste Francis Marie Juliette Cordonnier

The interest for distributed stochastic optimization has raised to train complex Machine Learning models with more data on distributed systems. Increasing the computation power speeds up the training but it faces a communication bottleneck between workers ...

Fast and robust estimation of NODDI parameters using non-Gaussian noise models and spatial regularization

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Alessandro Daducci

In this study, we developed a robust inversion algorithm to estimate the Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) model. It is based on the Accelerated Microstructure Imaging via Convex Optimization (AMICO) framework. However, in contrast ...

Stochastic Three-Composite Convex Minimization with a Linear Operator

Volkan Cevher

We develop a primal-dual convex minimization framework to solve a class of stochastic convex three-composite problem with a linear operator. We consider the cases where the problem is both convex and strongly convex and analyze the convergence of the propo ...

A Non-Euclidean Gradient Descent Framework for Non-Convex Matrix Factorization

Volkan Cevher, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Rabeeh Karimi Mahabadi, Yu-Chun Kao

We study convex optimization problems that feature low-rank matrix solutions. In such scenarios, non-convex methods offer significant advantages over convex methods due to their lower space complexity as well as faster convergence speed. Moreover, many of ...

A Data-Driven Method for Computing Fixed-Structure Low-Order Controllers With H-infinity Performance

Alireza Karimi, Achille Nicoletti

Recently, a new data-driven method for robust control with H-infinity performance has been proposed. This method is based on convex optimization and converges to the optimal performance when the controller order increases. However, for low-order controller ...

A Smooth Primal-Dual Optimization Framework for Nonsmooth Composite Convex Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh

We propose a new and low per-iteration complexity first-order primal-dual optimization framework for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of three classic ideas applied to the primal-dual gap fu ...

Characterizations of Two Channel Orderings: Input-Degradedness and the Shannon Ordering

Rajai Nasser

The ordering of communication channels was first introduced by Shannon. In this paper, we aim to find characterizations of two orderings: input-degradedness and the Shannon ordering. A channel W is said to be input-degraded from another channel W' if W can ...

A Data-Driven Approach to Power Converter Control via Convex Optimization

Alireza Karimi, Achille Nicoletti, Michele Martino

A new model reference data-driven approach is presented for synthesizing controllers for the CERN power converter control system. This method uses the frequency re- sponse function (FRF) of a system in order to avoid the problem of unmodeled dynamics assoc ...
