• Title: Tracking Performance of Online Stochastic Learners
• Authors: Stefan Vlaski, Elsa Rizk, Ali H. Sayed
• Abstract summary: Online algorithms are popular in large-scale learning settings due to their ability to compute updates on the fly, without the need to store and process data in large batches. When a constant step-size is used, these algorithms also have the ability to adapt to drifts in problem parameters, such as data or model properties, and track the optimal solution with reasonable accuracy. We establish a link between steady-state performance derived under stationarity assumptions and the tracking performance of online learners under random walk models.

• Abstract: The utilization of online stochastic algorithms is popular in large-scale learning settings due to their ability to compute updates on the fly, without the need to store and process data in large batches. When a constant step-size is used, these algorithms also have the ability to adapt to drifts in problem parameters, such as data or model properties, and track the optimal solution with reasonable accuracy. Building on analogies with the study of adaptive filters, we establish a link between steady-state performance derived under stationarity assumptions and the tracking performance of online learners under random walk models. The link allows us to infer the tracking performance from steady-state expressions directly and almost by inspection.

  This paper introduces a novel framework that achieves high accuracy and efficient matching while ensuring robustness in handling diverse scenarios.

  We propose an efficient online approximate Bayesian inference algorithm for estimating the parameters of a nonlinear function from a potentially non-stationary data stream. The method is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF), but uses a novel low-rank plus diagonal decomposition of the posterior matrix. In contrast to methods based on variational inference, our method is fully deterministic, and does not require step-size tuning.
