Variational analysis of determinantal varieties
Yan Yang, Bin Gao, Ya-xiang Yuan
Determinantal varieties -- the sets of bounded-rank matrices or tensors -- have attracted growing interest in low-rank optimization. The tangent cone to low-rank sets is widely stu…
Distributed Retraction-Free and Communication-Efficient Optimization on the Stiefel Manifold
Yilong Song, Peijin Li, Bin Gao +1
Optimization problems on the Stiefel manifold, ranging from principal component analysis to enhancing neural network robustness, are ubiquitous in machine learning. The Landing alg…
First-order methods on bounded-rank tensors converging to stationary points
Bin Gao, Renfeng Peng, Ya-xiang Yuan
Provably finding stationary points on bounded-rank tensors turns out to be an open problem [E. Levin, J. Kileel, and N. Boumal, Math. Program., 199 (2023), pp. 831--864] due to the…
A space-decoupling framework for optimization on bounded-rank matrices with orthogonally invariant constraints
Yan Yang, Bin Gao, Ya-xiang Yuan
Imposing additional constraints on low-rank optimization has garnered growing interest. However, the geometry of coupled constraints hampers the well-developed low-rank structure a…
