Linear Speedup In Saddle-Point Escape For Decentralized Non-Convex Optimization

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

Under appropriate cooperation protocols and parameter choices, fully decentralized solutions for stochastic optimization have been shown to match the performance of centralized solutions and result in linear speedup (in the number of agents) relative to no ...

Local Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion from Diffeomorphic Mappings

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Shaifali Parashar

We propose a new formulation to non-rigid structure-from-motion that only requires the deforming surface to preserve its differential structure. This is a much weaker assumption than the traditional ones of isometry or conformality. We show that it is neve ...

This paper introduces a method for computing points satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonconvex minimization problems subject to a closed and convex constraint set. The method comprises two independent steps corresponding to t ...

Second-Order Guarantees In Federated Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Elsa Rizk

Federated learning is a useful framework for centralized learning from distributed data under practical considerations of heterogeneity, asynchrony, and privacy. Federated architectures are frequently deployed in deep learning settings, which generally giv ...

On design strategies for binary dielectric metasurfaces based on the Fourier modal method

Kévin Müller

Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...

Computation of "Best" Interpolants in the Lp Sense

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We study a variant of the interpolation problem where the continuously defined solution is regularized by minimizing the L p -norm of its second-order derivative. For this continuous-domain problem, we propose an exact discretization scheme that restricts ...

We study a variant of the interpolation problem where the continuously defined solution is regularized by minimizing the L-p-norm of its second-order derivative. For this continuous-domain problem, we propose an exact discretization scheme that restricts t ...

A critically degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem, spectral theory and bifurcation

Charles Stuart

In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...

Radiative Backpropagation: An Adjoint Method for Lightning-Fast Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David

Physically based differentiable rendering has recently evolved into a powerful tool for solving inverse problems involving light. Methods in this area perform a differentiable simulation of the physical process of light transport and scattering to estimate ...
