In this paper, we investigate the non-asymptotic stationary convergence behavior of Stochastic Mirror Descent (SMD) for nonconvex optimization. We focus on a general class of nonconvex nonsmooth stochastic optimization problems, in which the objective can be decomposed into a relatively weakly convex function (possibly non-Lipschitz) and a simple non-smooth convex regularizer. We prove that SMD, without the use of mini-batch, is guaranteed to converge to a stationary point in a convergence rate of $ mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{t}) $. The efficiency estimate matches with existing results for stochastic subgradient method, but is evaluated under a stronger stationarity measure. Our convergence analysis applies to both the original SMD and its proximal version, as well as the deterministic variants, for solving relatively weakly convex problems.
In this paper, we present a new stochastic algorithm, namely the stochastic block mirror descent (SBMD) method for solving large-scale nonsmooth and stochastic optimization problems. The basic idea of this algorithm is to incorporate the block-coordi
In this work, we present a globalized stochastic semismooth Newton method for solving stochastic optimization problems involving smooth nonconvex and nonsmooth convex terms in the objective function. We assume that only noisy gradient and Hessian inf
While many distributed optimization algorithms have been proposed for solving smooth or convex problems over the networks, few of them can handle non-convex and non-smooth problems. Based on a proximal primal-dual approach, this paper presents a new
To solve distributed optimization efficiently with various constraints and nonsmooth functions, we propose a distributed mirror descent algorithm with embedded Bregman damping, as a generalization of conventional distributed projection-based algorith
Block coordinate descent (BCD), also known as nonlinear Gauss-Seidel, is a simple iterative algorithm for nonconvex optimization that sequentially minimizes the objective function in each block coordinate while the other coordinates are held fixed. W
