Symmetry, Saddle Points, and Global Optimization Landscape of Nonconvex Matrix Factorization
Xingguo Li, Junwei Lu, Raman Arora +4
We propose a general theory for studying the \xl{landscape} of nonconvex \xl{optimization} with underlying symmetric structures \tz{for a class of machine learning problems (e.g.,…

Nonconvex Sparse Learning via Stochastic Optimization with Progressive Variance Reduction
Xingguo Li, Raman Arora, Han Liu +2
We propose a stochastic variance reduced optimization algorithm for solving sparse learning problems with cardinality constraints. Sufficient conditions are provided, under which t…
