arXiv:2608. 13467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the Moreau--Yosida unadjusted Langevin algorithm (MYULA) for the nonsmooth composite target \[ \pi(dx)\propto \exp\{-f(x)-g(x)\}\,dx, \qquad x\in\mathbb R^d, \] where \(f\) is \(m\)-strongly convex with \(L_f\)-Lipschitz gradient and \(g\) is convex and \(G\)-Lipschitz.

arXiv:2511. 19716v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) often slows in the late stage of training due to anisotropic curvature and gradient noise.

arXiv:2606. 02078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The existing optimizers for deep neural networks (DNNs) typically rely on either the $\ell_2$ norm or the $\ell_\infty$ norm, resulting in optimizers that do not adapt well to substantial changes in curvature across parameter dimensions.
