Limitations on Variance-Reduction and Acceleration Schemes for Finite Sum Optimization
Yossi Arjevani
We study the conditions under which one is able to efficiently apply variance-reduction and acceleration schemes on finite sum optimization problems. First, we show that, perhaps s…

Oracle Complexity of Second-Order Methods for Smooth Convex Optimization
Yossi Arjevani, Ohad Shamir, Ron Shiff
Second-order methods, which utilize gradients as well as Hessians to optimize a given function, are of major importance in mathematical optimization. In this work, we prove tight b…
