A simpler approach to accelerated optimization: iterative averaging meets optimism

no code implementations ICML 2020 Pooria Joulani, Anant Raj, András György, Csaba Szepesvari

In this paper, we show that there is a simpler approach to obtaining accelerated rates: applying generic, well-known optimistic online learning algorithms and using the online average of their predictions to query the (deterministic or stochastic) first-order optimization oracle at each time step.

Adaptive Approximate Policy Iteration

1 code implementation8 Feb 2020 Botao Hao, Nevena Lazic, Yasin Abbasi-Yadkori, Pooria Joulani, Csaba Szepesvari

This is an improvement over the best existing bound of $\tilde{O}(T^{3/4})$ for the average-reward case with function approximation.

Think out of the "Box": Generically-Constrained Asynchronous Composite Optimization and Hedging

no code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Pooria Joulani, András György, Csaba Szepesvari

ASYNCADA is, to our knowledge, the first asynchronous stochastic optimization algorithm with finite-time data-dependent convergence guarantees for generic convex constraints.
