IFML Seminar: 09/12/25 - Accelerating Nonconvex Optimization via Online Learning
Abstract: A fundamental problem in optimization is finding an ε-first-order stationary point of a smooth function using only gradient information. The best-known gradient query complexity for this task, assuming both the gradient and Hessian...
