Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are widely used as building blocks for deep learning models. Learning typically proceeds by using stochastic gradient descent, and the gradients are estimated with sampling methods. However, the gradient estimation is a ...
Our brain continuously self-organizes to construct and maintain an internal representation of the world based on the information arriving through sensory stimuli. Remarkably, cortical areas related to different sensory modalities appear to share the same f ...
We present a novel method for convex unconstrained optimization that, without any modifications, ensures: (i) accelerated convergence rate for smooth objectives, (ii) standard convergence rate in the general (non-smooth) setting, and (iii) standard converg ...

The minimization of empirical risks over finite sample sizes is an important problem in large-scale machine learning. A variety of algorithms has been proposed in the literature to alleviate the computational burden per iteration at the expense of converge ...
The strong growth condition (SGC) is known to be a sufficient condition for linear convergence of the stochastic gradient method using a constant step-size γ (SGM-CS). In this paper, we provide a necessary condition, for the linear convergence of SGM-CS, t ...
Data augmentation is the process of generating samples by transforming training data, with the target of improving the accuracy and robustness of classifiers. In this paper, we propose a new automatic and adaptive algorithm for choosing the transformations ...
Point localization in multi-camera setups has been widely studied in computer vision. Recently, in finite-resolution camera settings, a consistent and optimal point localization algorithm called SHARP has been proposed, under the assumption of noiseless ca ...
We propose a new randomized coordinate descent method for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of four ideas applied to the primal-dual gap function: smoothing, acceleration, homotopy, and coord ...
Interest in deep probabilistic graphical models has increased in recent years, due to their state-of-the-art perfor- mance on many machine learning applications. Such models are typically trained with the stochastic gradient method, which can take a signif ...
