Optimization by Reparametrization: Time-Warped Mirror Flows with Singular Geometry
Cristian Vega, Cesare Molinari, Lorenzo Rosasco +1
Solving data-driven problems requires defining complex models and fitting them to data, neural networks being a motivating example. The fitting procedure can be seen as an optimiza…
Learning to control switching nonlinear systems with Koopman operator regression
Edoardo Caldarelli, Oleksii Kachaiev, Cesare Molinari +1
In this work, we consider the identification and control of nonlinear systems with finite action spaces. The unknown dynamics are estimated from finite samples with Koopman operato…
Frank-Wolfe with Moreau Envelope Smoothing for Nonsmooth Nonconvex Problems
Antonio Silveti-Falls, Cesare Molinari, Zev Woodstock
We present and analyze Frank-Wolfe with Moreau Envelope Smoothing (FRAMES) for solving nonsmooth nonconvex constrained optimization problems, taking advantage of iterative smoothin…
Convergence of zeroth-order proximal point algorithms in the high-temperature regime
Emanuele Naldi, Hippolyte Labarrière, Cesare Molinari +1
Efficient methods for non-convex black-box optimization largely rely on sampling. In this context, the Zeroth-Order Proximal Operator (ZOPO) and the corresponding Zeroth-Order Prox…
