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…
