Don't Forget Your Teacher: A Corrective Reinforcement Learning Framework
Mohammadreza Nazari, Majid Jahani, Lawrence V. Snyder +1
Although reinforcement learning (RL) can provide reliable solutions in many settings, practitioners are often wary of the discrepancies between the RL solution and their status quo…
Scaling Up Quasi-Newton Algorithms: Communication Efficient Distributed SR1
Majid Jahani, Mohammadreza Nazari, Sergey Rusakov +2
In this paper, we present a scalable distributed implementation of the Sampled Limited-memory Symmetric Rank-1 (S-LSR1) algorithm. First, we show that a naive distributed implement…
Quasi-Newton Methods for Machine Learning: Forget the Past, Just Sample
Albert S. Berahas, Majid Jahani, Peter Richtárik +1
We present two sampled quasi-Newton methods (sampled LBFGS and sampled LSR1) for solving empirical risk minimization problems that arise in machine learning. Contrary to the classi…
