Random Descent

چکیده
We introduce a method for establishing that a reduction strategy is normalising and minimal, or dually, that it is perpetual and maximal, in the setting of abstract rewriting. While being complete, the method allows to reduce these global properties to the verification of local diagrams. We show its usefulness both by giving uniform proofs of some known results and by establishing new ones.

Randomized Similar Triangles Method: A Unifying Framework for Accelerated Randomized Optimization Methods (Coordinate Descent, Directional Search, Derivative-Free Method)
In this paper, we consider smooth convex optimization problems with simple constraints and inexactness in the oracle information such as value, partial or directional derivatives of the objective function. We introduce a unifying framework, which allows to construct different types of accelerated randomized methods for such problems and to prove convergence rate theorems for them. We focus on a...
متن کاملHyphenation with Conditional Random Field
In this project, we approach the problem of English-word hyphenation using a linear-chain conditional random field model. We measure the effectiveness of different feature combinations and two different learning methods: Collins perceptron and stochastic gradient following. We achieve the accuracy rate of 77.95% using stochastic gradient descent.
متن کاملAnalyzing Random Permutations for Cyclic Coordinate Descent
We consider coordinate descent methods on convex quadratic problems, in which exact line searches are performed at each iteration. (This algorithm is identical to Gauss-Seidel on the equivalent symmetric positive definite linear system.) We describe a class of convex quadratic problems for which the random-permutations version of cyclic coordinate descent (RPCD) outperforms the standard cyclic ...
متن کاملRandom Coordinate Descent Methods for Minimizing Decomposable Submodular Functions
Submodular function minimization is a fundamental optimization problem that arises in several applications in machine learning and computer vision. The problem is known to be solvable in polynomial time, but general purpose algorithms have high running times and are unsuitable for large-scale problems. Recent work have used convex optimization techniques to obtain very practical algorithms for ...
متن کاملTheory of Convex Optimization for Machine Learning
This monograph presents the main mathematical ideas in convex optimization. Starting from the fundamental theory of black-box optimization, the material progresses towards recent advances in structural optimization and stochastic optimization. Our presentation of black-box optimization, strongly influenced by the seminal book of Nesterov, includes the analysis of the Ellipsoid Method, as well a...

Example 1. Imagine that we are solving a non-convex optimization problem on some (multivariate) function f using gradient descent. Recall that gradient descent converges to local minima. Because non-convex functions may have multiple minima, we cannot guarantee that gradient descent will converge to the global minimum. To resolve this issue, we will use random restarts, the process of starting ...
