Neighbor-Sampling Based Momentum Stochastic Methods for Training Graph Neural Networks

Molly Noel, Gabriel Mancino-Ball, Yangyang Xu

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are a powerful tool for graph representation learning. Due to the recursive neighborhood aggregations employed by GCNs, efficient training metho…

A stochastic smoothing framework for nonconvex-nonconcave minEmax problems with applications to Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization

Wei Liu, Muhammad Khan, Gabriel Mancino-Ball +1

We study a class of stochastic nonsmooth optimization problems in which an outer variable minimizes the expectation of a pointwise maximum. This minimization--expectation--maximiza…
