Analysis of an Idealized Stochastic Polyak Method and its Application to Black-Box Model Distillation

Robert M. Gower, Guillaume Garrigos, Nicolas Loizou +3

We provide a general convergence theorem of an idealized stochastic Polyak step size called SPS. Besides convexity, we only assume a local expected gradient bound, that include…

Tracking the Median of Gradients with a Stochastic Proximal Point Method

Fabian Schaipp, Guillaume Garrigos, Umut Simsekli +1

There are several applications of stochastic optimization where one can benefit from a robust estimate of the gradient. For example, domains such as distributed learning with corru…

Function Value Learning: Adaptive Learning Rates Based on the Polyak Stepsize and Function Splitting in ERM

Guillaume Garrigos, Robert M. Gower, Fabian Schaipp

Here we develop variants of SGD (stochastic gradient descent) with an adaptive step size that make use of the sampled loss values. In particular, we focus on solving a finite sum-o…

Online Inventory Problems: Beyond the i.i.d. Setting with Online Convex Optimization

Massil Hihat, Stéphane Gaïffas, Guillaume Garrigos +1

We study multi-product inventory control problems where a manager makes sequential replenishment decisions based on partial historical information in order to minimize its cumulati…

Provable convergence guarantees for black-box variational inference

Justin Domke, Guillaume Garrigos, Robert Gower

Black-box variational inference is widely used in situations where there is no proof that its stochastic optimization succeeds. We suggest this is due to a theoretical gap in exist…

Square distance functions are Polyak-Łojasiewicz and vice-versa

Guillaume Garrigos

This short note gathers known results to state that the squared distance function to a (nonconvex) closed set of an Euclidean space is Polyak-Łojasiewicz. As a fuzzy reciprocate, w…

Handbook of Convergence Theorems for (Stochastic) Gradient Methods

Guillaume Garrigos, Robert M. Gower

This is a handbook of simple proofs of the convergence of gradient and stochastic gradient descent type methods. We consider functions that are Lipschitz, smooth, convex, strongly…

SAN: Stochastic Average Newton Algorithm for Minimizing Finite Sums

Jiabin Chen, Rui Yuan, Guillaume Garrigos +1

We present a principled approach for designing stochastic Newton methods for solving finite sum optimization problems. Our approach has two steps. First, we re-write the stationari…

Accelerated iterative regularization via dual diagonal descent

Luca Calatroni, Guillaume Garrigos, Lorenzo Rosasco +1

We propose and analyze an accelerated iterative dual diagonal descent algorithm for the solution of linear inverse problems with general regularization and data-fit functions. In p…

Sparse Multiple Kernel Learning: Support Identification via Mirror Stratifiability

Guillaume Garrigos, Lorenzo Rosasco, Silvia Villa

In statistical machine learning, kernel methods allow to consider infinite dimensional feature spaces with a computational cost that only depends on the number of observations. Thi…

Model Consistency for Learning with Mirror-Stratifiable Regularizers

Jalal Fadili, Guillaume Garrigos, Jérome Malick +1

Low-complexity non-smooth convex regularizers are routinely used to impose some structure (such as sparsity or low-rank) on the coefficients for linear predictors in supervised lea…

Thresholding gradient methods in Hilbert spaces: support identification and linear convergence

Guillaume Garrigos, Lorenzo Rosasco, Silvia Villa

We study regularized least squares optimization problem in a separable Hilbert space. We show that the iterative soft-thresholding algorithm (ISTA) converges linearly, wit…
