Random extrapolation for primal-dual coordinate descent

Ahmet Alacaoglu, Olivier Fercoq, Volkan Cevher

We introduce a randomly extrapolated primal-dual coordinate descent method that adapts to sparsity of the data matrix and the favorable structures of the objective function. Our me…

Conditional gradient methods for stochastically constrained convex minimization

Maria-Luiza Vladarean, Ahmet Alacaoglu, Ya-Ping Hsieh +1

We propose two novel conditional gradient-based methods for solving structured stochastic convex optimization problems with a large number of linear constraints. Instances of this…

Convergence of adaptive algorithms for weakly convex constrained optimization

Ahmet Alacaoglu, Yura Malitsky, Volkan Cevher

We analyze the adaptive first order algorithm AMSGrad, for solving a constrained stochastic optimization problem with a weakly convex objective. We prove the $\mathcal{\tilde O}(t^…

A new regret analysis for Adam-type algorithms

Ahmet Alacaoglu, Yura Malitsky, Panayotis Mertikopoulos +1

In this paper, we focus on a theory-practice gap for Adam and its variants (AMSgrad, AdamNC, etc.). In practice, these algorithms are used with a constant first-order moment parame…

Almost surely constrained convex optimization

Olivier Fercoq, Ahmet Alacaoglu, Ion Necoara +1

We propose a stochastic gradient framework for solving stochastic composite convex optimization problems with (possibly) infinite number of linear inclusion constraints that need t…

Smooth Primal-Dual Coordinate Descent Algorithms for Nonsmooth Convex Optimization

Ahmet Alacaoglu, Quoc Tran-Dinh, Olivier Fercoq +1

We propose a new randomized coordinate descent method for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of four ideas applied t…
