Stochastic model-based minimization under high-order growth
Given a nonsmooth, nonconvex minimization problem, we consider algorithms that iteratively sample and minimize stochastic convex models of the objective function. Assuming that the one-sided approximation quality and the variation of the models is controlled by a Bregman divergence, we show that the scheme drives a natural stationarity measure to zero at the rate $O(k^{-1/4})$. … Read more
