Lazy Queries Can Reduce Variance in Zeroth-order Optimization

Quan Xiao, Qing Ling, Tianyi Chen

A major challenge of applying zeroth-order (ZO) methods is the high query complexity, especially when queries are costly. We propose a novel gradient estimation technique for ZO me…

Sharp-MAML: Sharpness-Aware Model-Agnostic Meta Learning

Momin Abbas, Quan Xiao, Lisha Chen +2

Model-agnostic meta learning (MAML) is currently one of the dominating approaches for few-shot meta-learning. Albeit its effectiveness, the optimization of MAML can be challenging…

Image denoising via K-SVD with primal-dual active set algorithm

Quan Xiao, Canhong Wen, Zirui Yan

K-SVD algorithm has been successfully applied to image denoising tasks dozens of years but the big bottleneck in speed and accuracy still needs attention to break. For the sparse c…
