General framework for online-to-nonconvex conversion: Schedule-free SGD is also effective for nonconvex optimization

This work investigates the effectiveness of schedule-free methods, developed by A. Defazio et al. (NeurIPS 2024), in nonconvex optimization settings, inspired by their remarkable empirical success in ...

Zeroth-Order Non-Convex Optimization for Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems With Diminishing Step Size and Smoothing Radius

Abstract: We study a class of zeroth-order distributed optimization problems, where each agent can control a partial vector and observe a local cost that depends on the joint vector of all agents, and ...
