Low-rank Orthogonalization for Large-scale Matrix Optimization with Applications to Foundation Model Training

The paper introduces low‑rank orthogonalization, a technique that exploits the low‑rank nature of gradients in neural network training to perform matrix orthogonalization more efficiently. Building on this, the authors present low‑rank matrix‑signed gradient descent (MSGD) and a low‑rank variant of the Muon optimizer, showing through experiments that low‑rank Muon matches or surpasses vanilla Muon on GPT‑2 and LLaMA pretraining, especially for larger models. Theoretical analysis provides iteration‑complexity bounds for both low‑rank MSGD and low‑rank Muon under heavy‑tailed noise.

Low-rank Distributional Matrix Completion

arXiv:2606. 04176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a distributional generalization of the matrix completion problem in which each entry of the target matrix is a probability distribution rather than a scalar.
