Projection-Free Algorithms in Statistical Estimation
Yan Li, Chao Qu, Huan Xu
Frank-Wolfe algorithm (FW) and its variants have gained a surge of interests in machine learning community due to its projection-free property. Recently people have reduced the gra…
Communication-Efficient Projection-Free Algorithm for Distributed Optimization
Yan Li, Chao Qu, Huan Xu
Distributed optimization has gained a surge of interest in recent years. In this paper we propose a distributed projection free algorithm named Distributed Conditional Gradient Sli…
Nonlinear Distributional Gradient Temporal-Difference Learning
Chao Qu, Shie Mannor, Huan Xu
We devise a distributional variant of gradient temporal-difference (TD) learning. Distributional reinforcement learning has been demonstrated to outperform the regular one in the r…
Fast Global Convergence via Landscape of Empirical Loss
Chao Qu, Yan Li, Huan Xu
While optimizing convex objective (loss) functions has been a powerhouse for machine learning for at least two decades, non-convex loss functions have attracted fast growing intere…
