Jointly Sparse Blind Deconvolution via Riemannian Optimization

Wenlong Wang, Baiyang Guo, Zai Yang +2

Blind deconvolution has been widely applied in system identification and signal processing. While joint sparsity commonly arises in practical scenarios, effectively exploiting this…

A Regularized Newton-Type Method for Manifold--Affine Intersection Problems under Intrinsic Transversality

Dengyu Zheng, Shixiang Chen

We propose Regularized Newton-SLRA (RN-SLRA), a regularized Newton-type method for local manifold--affine intersection problems motivated by structured low-rank approximation. Clas…

ADARL: Adaptive Low-Rank Structures for Robust Policy Learning under Uncertainty

Chenliang Li, Junyu Leng, Jiaxiang Li +4

Robust reinforcement learning (Robust RL) seeks to handle epistemic uncertainty in environment dynamics, but existing approaches often rely on nested min--max optimization, which i…

Local Linear Convergence of Infeasible Optimization with Orthogonal Constraints

Youbang Sun, Shixiang Chen, Alfredo Garcia +1

Many classical and modern machine learning algorithms require solving optimization tasks under orthogonality constraints. Solving these tasks with feasible methods requires a gradi…

Decentralized Riemannian Gradient Descent on the Stiefel Manifold

Shixiang Chen, Alfredo Garcia, Mingyi Hong +1

We consider a distributed non-convex optimization where a network of agents aims at minimizing a global function over the Stiefel manifold. The global function is represented as a…

On the Local Linear Rate of Consensus on the Stiefel Manifold

Shixiang Chen, Alfredo Garcia, Mingyi Hong +1

We study the convergence properties of Riemannian gradient method for solving the consensus problem (for an undirected connected graph) over the Stiefel manifold. The Stiefel manif…
