arXiv:2504. 09951v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We revisit a classical assumption for analyzing stochastic gradient algorithms where the squared norm of the stochastic subgradient (or the variance for smooth problems) is allowed to grow as fast as the squared norm of the optimization variable.

In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth nonconvex decentralized optimization problem, where inter-agent communication is compressed. We propose a general framework that unifies various decentralized stochastic subgradient-type methods with unbiased compression and contractive compression with error compensation.
arXiv:2607. 06883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the problem of finding stationary points for stochastic convex optimization problems.

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.

arXiv:2608. 05460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work introduces a proximal stochastic subgradient method for minimizing the sum of an expected cost, whose integrand is potentially nonsmooth and nonconvex, and a lower semicontinuous, prox-bounded function.
