The Landscape of the Proximal Point Method for Nonconvex-Nonconcave Minimax Optimization
Minimax optimization has become a central tool for modern machine learning with applications in generative adversarial networks, robust optimization, reinforcement learning, etc. These applications are often nonconvex-nonconcave, but the existing theory is unable to identify and deal with the fundamental difficulties posed by nonconvex-nonconcave structures. In this paper, we study the classic proximal point method … Read more
