Restarting accelerated gradient methods with a rough strong convexity estimate
Olivier Fercoq, Zheng Qu
We propose new restarting strategies for accelerated gradient and accelerated coordinate descent methods. Our main contribution is to show that the restarted method has a geometric…
Coordinate Descent with Arbitrary Sampling II: Expected Separable Overapproximation
Zheng Qu, Peter Richtárik
The design and complexity analysis of randomized coordinate descent methods, and in particular of variants which update a random subset (sampling) of coordinates in each iteration,…
Coordinate Descent with Arbitrary Sampling I: Algorithms and Complexity
Zheng Qu, Peter Richtárik
We study the problem of minimizing the sum of a smooth convex function and a convex block-separable regularizer and propose a new randomized coordinate descent method, which we cal…
Randomized Dual Coordinate Ascent with Arbitrary Sampling
Zheng Qu, Peter Richtárik, Tong Zhang
We study the problem of minimizing the average of a large number of smooth convex functions penalized with a strongly convex regularizer. We propose and analyze a novel primal-dual…
