arXiv:2606. 32005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stochastic Gradient Descent ($\textsf{SGD}$) is one of the most classical optimization algorithms with favorable theoretical guarantees, yet the practical implementation of $\textsf{SGD}$ differs subtly from its well-known form and is often referred to as Shuffling Stochastic Gradient Descent ($\textsf{Shuffling SGD}$).
arXiv:2606. 01764v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We revisit the convergence guarantees of the Extragradient (EG) method for unconstrained biaffine min-max optimization.
arXiv:2310. 15976v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: signSGD is attractive in nonconvex optimization because it communicates sign-valued rather than full-precision gradients.
arXiv:2606. 01527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning is motivated by legal and user-facing requirements to remove the influence of individuals' data from trained models, such as the right to be forgotten.
arXiv:2607. 14731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Local SGD, also known as Federated Averaging, is a widely used distributed optimization algorithm.
arXiv:2602. 05657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The study of tail behaviour of SGD-induced processes has been attracting a lot of interest, due to offering strong guarantees with respect to individual runs of an algorithm.
arXiv:2510. 22819v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The convergence analysis of online learning algorithms is central to machine learning theory, where the last-iterate convergence is particularly important, as it captures the learner's actual decisions and describes the evolution of the learning process over time.
arXiv:2606. 14640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Online Convex Optimization (OCO) over a convex set $K\subseteq \mathbb R^d$, where in each round $t$ the learner selects $x_t\in K$ and then observes a convex loss $f_t:K\to[0,1]$, with the goal of minimizing regret to the best fixed decision in hindsight.
arXiv:2606. 03769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the robustness of stochastic mirror descent (SMD) under heavy-tailed noise, focusing on whether the method retains its convergence guarantees when run with infinite-variance stochastic gradient input.
arXiv:2603. 06009v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: An agent's performance stagnating at a suboptimal level is a common problem in deep on-policy RL.
arXiv:2605. 18694v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many tasks in modern machine learning are observed to involve heavy-tailed gradient noise during the optimization process.
arXiv:2607. 15412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-objective learning (MOL) aims to optimize multiple objectives simultaneously.
arXiv:2606. 06934v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We analyze generalization error, uniform stability, and uniform argument stability of gradient descent (GD) and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) over discrete parameter spaces, where each update involves deterministic or stochastic rounding.
