AdaLoss: A computationally-efficient and provably convergent adaptive gradient method

Xiaoxia Wu, Yuege Xie, Simon Du +1

We propose a computationally-friendly adaptive learning rate schedule, "AdaLoss", which directly uses the information of the loss function to adjust the stepsize in gradient descen…

Linear Convergence of Adaptive Stochastic Gradient Descent

Yuege Xie, Xiaoxia Wu, Rachel Ward

We prove that the norm version of the adaptive stochastic gradient method (AdaGrad-Norm) achieves a linear convergence rate for a subset of either strongly convex functions or non-…

Bias of Homotopic Gradient Descent for the Hinge Loss

Denali Molitor, Deanna Needell, Rachel Ward

Gradient descent is a simple and widely used optimization method for machine learning. For homogeneous linear classifiers applied to separable data, gradient descent has been shown…

AdaOja: Adaptive Learning Rates for Streaming PCA

Amelia Henriksen, Rachel Ward

Oja's algorithm has been the cornerstone of streaming methods in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) since it was first proposed in 1982. However, Oja's algorithm does not have a st…

AdaGrad stepsizes: Sharp convergence over nonconvex landscapes

Rachel Ward, Xiaoxia Wu, Leon Bottou

Adaptive gradient methods such as AdaGrad and its variants update the stepsize in stochastic gradient descent on the fly according to the gradients received along the way; such met…

WNGrad: Learn the Learning Rate in Gradient Descent

Xiaoxia Wu, Rachel Ward, Léon Bottou

Adjusting the learning rate schedule in stochastic gradient methods is an important unresolved problem which requires tuning in practice. If certain parameters of the loss function…
