Structured Transforms Across Spaces with Cost-Regularized Optimal Transport

Othmane Sebbouh, Marco Cuturi, Gabriel Peyré

Matching a source to a target probability measure is often solved by instantiating a linear optimal transport (OT) problem, parameterized by a ground cost function that quantifies…

Randomized Stochastic Gradient Descent Ascent

Othmane Sebbouh, Marco Cuturi, Gabriel Peyré

An increasing number of machine learning problems, such as robust or adversarial variants of existing algorithms, require minimizing a loss function that is itself defined as a max…

Unified Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Methods for Composite Convex and Smooth Optimization

Ahmed Khaled, Othmane Sebbouh, Nicolas Loizou +2

We present a unified theorem for the convergence analysis of stochastic gradient algorithms for minimizing a smooth and convex loss plus a convex regularizer. We do this by extendi…

SGD for Structured Nonconvex Functions: Learning Rates, Minibatching and Interpolation

Robert M. Gower, Othmane Sebbouh, Nicolas Loizou

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is being used routinely for optimizing non-convex functions. Yet, the standard convergence theory for SGD in the smooth non-convex setting gives a…

Almost sure convergence rates for Stochastic Gradient Descent and Stochastic Heavy Ball

Othmane Sebbouh, Robert M. Gower, Aaron Defazio

We study stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and the stochastic heavy ball method (SHB, otherwise known as the momentum method) for the general stochastic approximation problem. For…

Towards closing the gap between the theory and practice of SVRG

Othmane Sebbouh, Nidham Gazagnadou, Samy Jelassi +2

Among the very first variance reduced stochastic methods for solving the empirical risk minimization problem was the SVRG method (Johnson & Zhang 2013). SVRG is an inner-outer loop…

Nesterov's acceleration and Polyak's heavy ball method in continuous time: convergence rate analysis under geometric conditions and perturbations

Othmane Sebbouh, Charles Dossal, Aude Rondepierre

In this article a family of second order ODEs associated to inertial gradient descend is studied. These ODEs are widely used to build trajectories converging to a minimizer o…
