报告摘要:
In this talk, I will introduce two accelerated stochastic subgradient methods for stochastic non-strongly convex optimization problems by leveraging a generic local error bound condition. The novelty of the proposed methods lies at smartly leveraging the recent historical solution to tackle the variance in the stochastic subgradient. The key idea of both methods is to iteratively solve the original problem approximately in a local region around a recent historical solution with size of the local region gradually decreasing as the solution approaches the optimal set. The difference of the two methods lies at how to construct the local region. The first method uses an explicit ball constraint and the second method uses an implicit regularization approach. For both methods, the improved iteration complexity in a high probability for achieving an ϵ-optimal solution is established. Besides the improved order of iteration complexity with a high probability, the proposed algorithms also enjoy a logarithmic dependence on the distance of the initial solution to the optimal set.
