A Riemannian AdaGrad-Norm Method

We propose a manifold AdaGrad-Norm method (\textsc{MAdaGrad}), which extends the norm version of AdaGrad (AdaGrad-Norm) to Riemannian optimization. In contrast to line-search schemes, which may require several exponential map computations per iteration, \textsc{MAdaGrad} requires only one. Assuming the objective function $f$ has Lipschitz continuous Riemannian gradient, we show that the method requires at most $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-2})$ … Read more

How much patience do you have? A worst-case perspective on smooth nonconvex optimization

The paper presents a survey of recent results in the field of worst-case complexity of algorithms for nonlinear (and possibly nonconvex) smooth optimization. Both constrained and unconstrained case are considered. ArticleDownload View PDF
