• Title: Complexity Guarantees for Polyak Steps with Momentum
• Authors: Mathieu Barr\'e, Adrien Taylor, Alexandre d'Aspremont
• Abstract summary: We study a class of methods, based on Polyak steps, where this knowledge is substituted by that of the optimal value, $f_*$. We first show slightly improved convergence bounds than previously known for the classical case of simple gradient descent with Polyak steps, we then derive an accelerated gradient method with Polyak steps and momentum, along with convergence guarantees.

• Abstract: In smooth strongly convex optimization, knowledge of the strong convexity parameter is critical for obtaining simple methods with accelerated rates. In this work, we study a class of methods, based on Polyak steps, where this knowledge is substituted by that of the optimal value, $f_*$. We first show slightly improved convergence bounds than previously known for the classical case of simple gradient descent with Polyak steps, we then derive an accelerated gradient method with Polyak steps and momentum, along with convergence guarantees.

  We consider the finite-sum optimization problem, where each component function is strongly convex and has Lipschitz continuous gradient and Hessian. The recently proposed incremental quasi-Newton method is based on BFGS update and achieves a local superlinear convergence rate. This paper proposes a more efficient quasi-Newton method by incorporating the symmetric rank-1 update into the incremental framework.

We derive the first non-trivial high-probability complexity bounds for SGD with clipping without light-tails assumption on the noise.
