Adaptive and Oblivious Randomized Subspace Methods for High-Dimensional Optimization: Sharp Analysis and Lower Bounds

Jonathan Lacotte, Mert Pilanci

We propose novel randomized optimization methods for high-dimensional convex problems based on restrictions of variables to random subspaces. We consider oblivious and data-adaptiv…

The Hidden Convex Optimization Landscape of Two-Layer ReLU Neural Networks: an Exact Characterization of the Optimal Solutions

Yifei Wang, Jonathan Lacotte, Mert Pilanci

We prove that finding all globally optimal two-layer ReLU neural networks can be performed by solving a convex optimization program with cone constraints. Our analysis is novel, ch…

Effective Dimension Adaptive Sketching Methods for Faster Regularized Least-Squares Optimization

Jonathan Lacotte, Mert Pilanci

We propose a new randomized algorithm for solving L2-regularized least-squares problems based on sketching. We consider two of the most popular random embeddings, namely, Gaussian…

Optimal Randomized First-Order Methods for Least-Squares Problems

Jonathan Lacotte, Mert Pilanci

We provide an exact analysis of a class of randomized algorithms for solving overdetermined least-squares problems. We consider first-order methods, where the gradients are pre-con…

Optimal Iterative Sketching with the Subsampled Randomized Hadamard Transform

Jonathan Lacotte, Sifan Liu, Edgar Dobriban +1

Random projections or sketching are widely used in many algorithmic and learning contexts. Here we study the performance of iterative Hessian sketch for least-squares problems. By…
