Online optimization has emerged as powerful tool in large scale optimization. In this paper, we introduce efficient online optimization algorithms based on the alternating direction method (ADM), which can solve online convex optimization under linear constraints where the objective could be nonsmooth. We introduce new proof techniques for ADM in the batch setting, which yields a O(1/T ) conver...

Alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been widely used in many applications due to its promising performance to solve complex regularization problems and large-scale distributed optimization problems. Stochastic ADMM, which visits only one sample or a mini-batch of samples each time, has recently been proved to achieve better performance than batch ADMM. However, most stochasti...

The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has received lots of attention recently due to the tremendous demand from large-scale and data-distributed machine learning applications. In this paper, we present a stochastic setting for optimization problems with non-smooth composite objective functions. To solve this problem, we propose a stochastic ADMM algorithm. Our algorithm applies...

This paper proposes efficient algorithms for group sparse optimization with mixed `2,1-regularization, which arises from the reconstruction of group sparse signals in compressive sensing, and the group Lasso problem in statistics and machine learning. It is known that encoding the group information in addition to sparsity will lead to better signal recovery/feature selection. The `2,1-regulariz...

The fundamental idea behind all multigrid methods is to compute using diierent scales in order to obliterate error components of diierent scales. Error components can be thought of as waves. A long wave, which has low frequency, on one grid is a short wave, or high frequency, on a coarse enough related grid. A number of iterative methods (e.g., relaxation and alternating direction implicit meth...
