HUANet: Hard-Constrained Unrolled ADMM for Constrained Convex Optimization

HUANet is a deep neural network architecture that unrolls the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) into a trainable model for accelerating parametric constrained convex optimization. It embeds a hard‑constrained neural network in each ADMM iteration, using a differentiable correction stage to enforce affine equalities of the primal subproblem. The method also incorporates first‑order optimality conditions into a self‑supervised training loss, and numerical experiments on benchmark problems and a control application demonstrate its effectiveness in speeding up constrained convex optimization.

Safeguarded Stochastic Polyak Step Sizes for Non-smooth Optimization: Robust Performance Without Small (Sub)Gradients

arXiv:2512. 02342v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The stochastic Polyak step size (SPS) has proven to be a promising choice for stochastic gradient descent (SGD), delivering competitive performance relative to state-of-the-art methods on smooth convex and non-convex optimization problems, including deep neural network training.
