arXiv:2601. 21487v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study minimization of smooth functions over feasible sets that have smooth embedded-manifold structure throughout or only on selected regions, using linear minimization oracles (LMOs) to determine search directions under user-chosen norms.

arXiv:2503. 24075v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-rank optimization problems with sparse simplex constraints involve variables that must satisfy nonnegativity, sparsity, and sum-to-1 conditions, making their optimization particularly challenging due to the interplay between low-rank structures and constraints.

arXiv:2606. 01216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The elementwise Hadamard product of two low-rank matrices provides a parameter-efficient model for data with multiplicative structure, but its modeling is challenging due to the presence of additional symmetries under coupled row/column scalings between the two factors.

arXiv:2606. 25975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Common first-order optimizers, such as Adam, implicitly treat each parameter block as an unstructured vector, which disregards the multilinear weight structure present in many modern machine learning models.

arXiv:2602. 14656v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Orthogonality constraints are ubiquitous in robust and probabilistic machine learning.

Common first-order optimizers, such as Adam, implicitly treat each parameter block as an unstructured vector, which disregards the multilinear weight structure present in many modern machine learning models. Recent work has shown that exploiting matrix structure can improve optimization dynamics.
