CORE Series Tuesday, April 18, 2017 EEB 125, 4:00-5:00PM Zaid Harchaoui, University of Washington TITLE: Catalyst, Generic Acceleration Scheme for Gradient-based Optimization ABSTRACT: We introduce a generic scheme called Catalyst for accelerating first-order optimization methods in the sense of Nesterov, which builds upon a new analysis of the accelerated proximal point algorithm. The proposed approach consists of minimizing a […]
