Greedy and Random Broyden's Methods with Explicit Superlinear Convergence Rates in Nonlinear Equations

Haishan Ye, Dachao Lin, Zhihua Zhang

In this paper, we propose the greedy and random Broyden's method for solving nonlinear equations. Specifically, the greedy method greedily selects the direction to maximize a certa…

Directional Convergence Analysis under Spherically Symmetric Distribution

Dachao Lin, Zhihua Zhang

We consider the fundamental problem of learning linear predictors (i.e., separable datasets with zero margin) using neural networks with gradient flow or gradient descent. Under th…

Meta-Regularization: An Approach to Adaptive Choice of the Learning Rate in Gradient Descent

Guangzeng Xie, Hao Jin, Dachao Lin +1

We propose \textit{Meta-Regularization}, a novel approach for the adaptive choice of the learning rate in first-order gradient descent methods. Our approach modifies the objective…
