A regret minimization approach to fixed-point iterations

Joon Kwon

We propose a conversion scheme that turns regret minimizing algorithms into fixed point iterations, with convergence guarantees following from regret bounds. The resulting iteratio…

Finite-sum optimization: Adaptivity to smoothness and loopless variance reduction

Bastien Batardière, Joon Kwon

For finite-sum optimization, variance-reduced gradient methods (VR) compute at each iteration the gradient of a single function (or of a mini-batch), and yet achieve faster converg…

Time-Dependent Blackwell Approachability and Application to Absorbing Games

Joon Kwon, Yijun Wan, Bruno Ziliotto

Blackwell's approachability (Blackwell, 1954, 1956) is a very general online learning framework where a Decision Maker obtains vector-valued outcomes, and aims at the convergence o…

Refined approachability algorithms and application to regret minimization with global costs

Joon Kwon

Blackwell's approachability is a framework where two players, the Decision Maker and the Environment, play a repeated game with vector-valued payoffs. The goal of the Decision Make…

Unifying mirror descent and dual averaging

Anatoli Juditsky, Joon Kwon, Éric Moulines

We introduce and analyze a new family of first-order optimization algorithms which generalizes and unifies both mirror descent and dual averaging. Within the framework of this fami…

A MOM-based ensemble method for robustness, subsampling and hyperparameter tuning

Joon Kwon, Guillaume Lecué, Matthieu Lerasle

Hyperparameters tuning and model selection are important steps in machine learning. Unfortunately, classical hyperparameter calibration and model selection procedures are sensitive…

Sparse Stochastic Bandits

Joon Kwon, Vianney Perchet, Claire Vernade

In the classical multi-armed bandit problem, d arms are available to the decision maker who pulls them sequentially in order to maximize his cumulative reward. Guarantees can be ob…

Gains and Losses are Fundamentally Different in Regret Minimization: The Sparse Case

Joon Kwon, Vianney Perchet

We demonstrate that, in the classical non-stochastic regret minimization problem with decisions, gains and losses to be respectively maximized or minimized are fundamentally di…

A continuous-time approach to online optimization

Joon Kwon, Panayotis Mertikopoulos

We consider a family of learning strategies for online optimization problems that evolve in continuous time and we show that they lead to no regret. From a more traditional, discre…

A universal bound on the variations of bounded convex functions

Joon Kwon

Given a convex set in a real vector space and two points , we investivate which are the possible values for the variation , where $f:C\longrightarrow […
