Limited Memory Online Gradient Descent for Kernelized Pairwise Learning with Dynamic Averaging

no code implementations2 Feb 2024 Hilal AlQuabeh, William de Vazelhes, Bin Gu

Recently, an OGD algorithm emerged, employing gradient computation involving prior and most recent examples, a step that effectively reduces algorithmic complexity to $O(T)$, with $T$ being the number of received examples.

Iterative Regularization with k-support Norm: An Important Complement to Sparse Recovery

1 code implementation19 Dec 2023 William de Vazelhes, Bhaskar Mukhoty, Xiao-Tong Yuan, Bin Gu

However, most of those iterative methods are based on the $\ell_1$ norm which requires restrictive applicability conditions and could fail in many cases.

Energy Efficient Training of SNN using Local Zeroth Order Method

no code implementations2 Feb 2023 Bhaskar Mukhoty, Velibor Bojkovic, William de Vazelhes, Giulia De Masi, Huan Xiong, Bin Gu

To circumvent the problem surrogate method uses a differentiable approximation of the Heaviside in the backward pass, while the forward pass uses the Heaviside as the spiking function.

Zeroth-Order Hard-Thresholding: Gradient Error vs. Expansivity

no code implementations11 Oct 2022 William de Vazelhes, Hualin Zhang, Huimin Wu, Xiao-Tong Yuan, Bin Gu

To solve this puzzle, in this paper, we focus on the $\ell_0$ constrained black-box stochastic optimization problems, and propose a new stochastic zeroth-order gradient hard-thresholding (SZOHT) algorithm with a general ZO gradient estimator powered by a novel random support sampling.
