• Abstract: For linearly constrained least-squares problems that depend on a vector of parameters, this paper proposes techniques for reducing the number of involved optimization variables. After first eliminating equality constraints in a numerically robust way by QR factorization, we propose a technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and unsupervised learning, that we call $K$-SVD, and neural classifiers to automatically partition the set of parameter vectors in $K$ nonlinear regions in which the original problem is approximated by using a smaller set of variables. For the special case of parametric constrained least-squares problems that arise from model predictive control (MPC) formulations, we propose a novel and very efficient QR factorization method for equality constraint elimination. Together with SVD or $K$-SVD, the method provides a numerically robust alternative to standard condensing and move blocking, and to other complexity reduction methods for MPC based on basis functions. We show the good performance of the proposed techniques in numerical tests and in a linearized MPC problem of a nonlinear benchmark process.

  This research presents a method to meet requirements through the minimization objective function of the RPM algorithm. A branch-and-bound (BnB) algorithm is devised, which solely branches over the parameters, thereby boosting convergence rate. Empirical evaluations demonstrate better robustness of the proposed methodology against non-rigid deformation, positional noise, and outliers, when compared with prevailing state-of-the-art transformations.

  Singular value decomposition (SVD) is one of the most popular compression methods that approximates a target matrix with smaller matrices. Standard SVD treats the parameters within the matrix with equal importance, which is a simple but unrealistic assumption. We show that our method can perform better than current SOTA methods in neural-based language models.

  We propose a conditional gradient method (CGM) for minimizing convex finite-sum objectives formed as a sum of smooth and non-smooth terms. The proposed method, equipped with an average gradient (SAG) estimator, requires only one sample per iteration. Nevertheless, it guarantees fast convergence rates on par with more sophisticated variance reduction techniques.
