Deriving Hyperparameter Scaling Laws via Modern Optimization Theory
Egor Shulgin, Dimitri von Rütte, Tianyue H. Zhang +3
Hyperparameter transfer has become an important component of modern large-scale training recipes. Existing methods, such as muP, primarily focus on transfer between model sizes, wi…
First Provable Guarantees for Practical Private FL: Beyond Restrictive Assumptions
Egor Shulgin, Grigory Malinovsky, Sarit Khirirat +1
Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training on decentralized data. Differential privacy (DP) is crucial for FL, but current private methods often rely on unrealistic ass…
Beyond the Ideal: Analyzing the Inexact Muon Update
Egor Shulgin, Sultan AlRashed, Francesco Orabona +1
The Muon optimizer has rapidly emerged as a powerful, geometry-aware alternative to AdamW, demonstrating strong performance in large-scale training of neural networks. However, a c…
Gluon: Making Muon & Scion Great Again! (Bridging Theory and Practice of LMO-based Optimizers for LLMs)
Artem Riabinin, Egor Shulgin, Kaja Gruntkowska +1
Recent developments in deep learning optimization have brought about radically new algorithms based on the Linear Minimization Oracle (LMO) framework, such as and $\sf S…
Smoothed Normalization for Efficient Distributed Private Optimization
Egor Shulgin, Sarit Khirirat, Peter Richtárik
Federated learning enables training machine learning models while preserving the privacy of participants. Surprisingly, there is no differentially private distributed method for sm…
On the Convergence of DP-SGD with Adaptive Clipping
Egor Shulgin, Peter Richtárik
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) with gradient clipping is a powerful technique for enabling differentially private optimization. Although prior works extensively investigated cli…
