Sharper Rates for Separable Minimax and Finite Sum Optimization via Primal-Dual Extragradient Methods
Yujia Jin, Aaron Sidford, Kevin Tian
We design accelerated algorithms with improved rates for several fundamental classes of optimization problems. Our algorithms all build upon techniques related to the analysis of p…
Towards Tight Bounds on the Sample Complexity of Average-reward MDPs
Yujia Jin, Aaron Sidford
We prove new upper and lower bounds for sample complexity of finding an -optimal policy of an infinite-horizon average-reward Markov decision process (MDP) given access to a gen…
Stochastic Bias-Reduced Gradient Methods
Hilal Asi, Yair Carmon, Arun Jambulapati +2
We develop a new primitive for stochastic optimization: a low-bias, low-cost estimator of the minimizer of any Lipschitz strongly-convex function. In particular, we use a…
Thinking Inside the Ball: Near-Optimal Minimization of the Maximal Loss
Yair Carmon, Arun Jambulapati, Yujia Jin +1
We characterize the complexity of minimizing for convex, Lipschitz functions . For non-smooth functions, existing methods require $O(Nε^{-2…
Semi-Streaming Bipartite Matching in Fewer Passes and Optimal Space
Sepehr Assadi, Arun Jambulapati, Yujia Jin +2
We provide -pass semi-streaming algorithms for computing -approximate maximum cardinality matchings in bipartite graphs. Our most efficient methods ar…
Coordinate Methods for Matrix Games
Yair Carmon, Yujia Jin, Aaron Sidford +1
We develop primal-dual coordinate methods for solving bilinear saddle-point problems of the form which contain linear p…
