A polynomial expansion line search for large-scale unconstrained minimization of smooth L2-regularized loss functions, with implementation in Apache Spark
Michael B Hynes, Hans De Sterck
In large-scale unconstrained optimization algorithms such as limited memory BFGS (LBFGS), a common subproblem is a line search minimizing the loss function along a descent directio…

A Hierarchy of Linear Threshold Models for the Spread of Political Revolutions on Social Networks
John C. Lang, Hans De Sterck
We study a linear threshold agent-based model (ABM) for the spread of political revolutions on social networks using empirical network data. We propose new techniques for building…
