On the Sharp Input-Output Analysis of Nonlinear Systems under Adversarial Attacks
Jihun Kim, Yuchen Fang, Javad Lavaei
This paper is concerned with learning the input-output mapping of general nonlinear dynamical systems. While the existing literature focuses on Gaussian inputs and benign disturban…
High Probability Complexity Bounds of Trust-Region Stochastic Sequential Quadratic Programming with Heavy-Tailed Noise
Yuchen Fang, Javad Lavaei, Sen Na
In this paper, we consider nonlinear optimization problems with a stochastic objective and deterministic equality constraints. We propose a Trust-Region Stochastic Sequential Quadr…
A Trust-Region Interior-Point Stochastic Sequential Quadratic Programming Method
Yuchen Fang, Jihun Kim, Sen Na +2
In this paper, we propose a trust-region interior-point stochastic sequential quadratic programming (TR-IP-SSQP) method for solving optimization problems with a stochastic objectiv…
Why is Normalization Preferred? A Worst-Case Complexity Theory for Stochastically Preconditioned SGD under Heavy-Tailed Noise
Yuchen Fang, James Demmel, Javad Lavaei
We develop a worst-case complexity theory for stochastically preconditioned stochastic gradient descent (SPSGD) and its accelerated variants under heavy-tailed noise, a setting tha…
3DGS-TR: Scalable Second-Order Trust-Region Method for 3D Gaussian Splatting
Roger Hsiao, Yuchen Fang, Xiangru Huang +6
We propose 3DGS-TR,a second-order optimizer for accelerating the scene training problem in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Unlike existing second-order approaches that rely on ex…
TRSVR: An Adaptive Stochastic Trust-Region Method with Variance Reduction
Yuchen Fang, Xinshou Zheng, Javad Lavaei
We propose a stochastic trust-region method for unconstrained nonconvex optimization that incorporates stochastic variance-reduced gradients (SVRG) to accelerate convergence. Unlik…
