• Abstract: This paper presents a hierarchical segment-based optimization method for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system. First we propose a reliable trajectory segmentation method that can be used to increase efficiency in the back-end optimization. Then we propose a buffer mechanism for the first time to improve the robustness of the segmentation. During the optimization, we use global information to optimize the frames with large error, and interpolation instead of optimization to update well-estimated frames to hierarchically allocate the amount of computation according to error of each frame. Comparative experiments on the benchmark show that our method greatly improves the efficiency of optimization with almost no drop in accuracy, and outperforms existing high-efficiency optimization method by a large margin.

• Analyzing and Enhancing the Backward-Pass Convergence of Unrolled Optimization [50.38518771642365]
  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks. A central challenge in this setting is backpropagation through the solution of an optimization problem, which often lacks a closed form. This paper provides theoretical insights into the backward pass of unrolled optimization, showing that it is equivalent to the solution of a linear system by a particular iterative method. A system called Folded Optimization is proposed to construct more efficient backpropagation rules from unrolled solver implementations.

  A current standard approach to solving convex discrete optimization problems is the use of cutting-plane algorithms. Despite the existence of a number of general-purpose cut-generating algorithms, large-scale discrete optimization problems continue to suffer from intractability. We propose a method for accelerating cutting-plane algorithms via reinforcement learning.

  A competing, computationally more efficient, global optimization framework is optimistic optimization, which exploits prior knowledge about the geometry of the search space in form of a dissimilarity function. We argue that there is a new research domain between geometric and probabilistic search, i.e. methods that run drastically faster than traditional Bayesian optimization, while retaining some of the crucial functionality of Bayesian optimization.
