چکیده

Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent is a popular method for solving regularized loss minimization for the case of convex losses. In this paper we show how a variant of SDCA can be applied for non-convex losses. We prove linear convergence rate even if individual loss functions are non-convex as long as the expected loss is convex.

SDCA without Duality, Regularization, and Individual Convexity

Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent is a popular method for solving regularized loss minimization for the case of convex losses. We describe variants of SDCA that do not require explicit regularization and do not rely on duality. We prove linear convergence rates even if individual loss functions are non-convex, as long as the expected loss is strongly convex.

Dual Free SDCA for Empirical Risk Minimization with Adaptive Probabilities

In this paper we develop dual free SDCA with adaptive probabilities for regularized empirical risk minimization. This extends recent work of Shai Shalev-Shwartz [SDCA without Duality, arXiv:1502.06177] to allow non-uniform selection of ”dual” coordinate in SDCA. Moreover, the probability can change over time, making it more efficient than uniform selection. Our work focuses on generating adapti...

Linear Convergence of the Randomized Feasible Descent Method Under the Weak Strong Convexity Assumption

In this paper we generalize the framework of the feasible descent method (FDM) to a randomized (R-FDM) and a coordinate-wise random feasible descent method (RC-FDM) framework. We show that the famous SDCA algorithm for optimizing the SVM dual problem, or the stochastic coordinate descent method for the LASSO problem, fits into the framework of RC-FDM. We prove linear convergence for both R-FDM ...

Dimension-Free Iteration Complexity of Finite Sum Optimization Problems

Many canonical machine learning problems boil down to a convex optimization problem with a finite sum structure. However, whereas much progress has been made in developing faster algorithms for this setting, the inherent limitations of these problems are not satisfactorily addressed by existing lower bounds. Indeed, current bounds focus on first-order optimization algorithms, and only apply in ...
