Algorithmic Stability of Heavy-Tailed SGD with General Loss Functions

Anant Raj, Lingjiong Zhu, Mert Gürbüzbalaban +1

Heavy-tail phenomena in stochastic gradient descent (SGD) have been reported in several empirical studies. Experimental evidence in previous works suggests a strong interplay betwe…

First Exit Time Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Descent Under Heavy-Tailed Gradient Noise

Thanh Huy Nguyen, Umut Şimşekli, Mert Gürbüzbalaban +1

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has been widely used in machine learning due to its computational efficiency and favorable generalization properties. Recently, it has been empiri…

A Stronger Convergence Result on the Proximal Incremental Aggregated Gradient Method

Nuri Denizcan Vanli, Mert Gurbuzbalaban, Asu Ozdaglar

We study the convergence rate of the proximal incremental aggregated gradient (PIAG) method for minimizing the sum of a large number of smooth component functions (where the sum is…

Global Convergence Rate of Proximal Incremental Aggregated Gradient Methods

Nuri Denizcan Vanli, Mert Gurbuzbalaban, Asu Ozdaglar

We focus on the problem of minimizing the sum of smooth component functions (where the sum is strongly convex) and a non-smooth convex function, which arises in regularized empiric…
