Accelerating Rescaled Gradient Descent: Fast Optimization of Smooth Functions
Ashia Wilson, Lester Mackey, Andre Wibisono
We present a family of algorithms, called descent algorithms, for optimizing convex and non-convex functions. We also introduce a new first-order algorithm, called rescaled gradien…
