A randomized method for smooth convex minimization, motivated by probability maximization

We propose a randomized gradient method - or a randomized cutting-plane method from a dual viewpoint. From the primal viewpoint, our method bears a resemblance to the stochastic approximation family. But in contrast to stochastic approximation, the present method builds a model problem.
