Stochastic Optimization is the task of optimizing certain objective functional by generating and using stochastic random variables. Usually the Stochastic Optimization is an iterative process of generating random variables that progressively finds out the minima or the maxima of the objective functional. Stochastic Optimization is usually applied in the non-convex functional spaces where the usual deterministic optimization such as linear or quadratic programming or their variants cannot be used.

Coupled generator decomposition for fusion of electro- and magnetoencephalography data

anders-s-olsen/coupled-generator-decomposition 2 Mar 2024

Leveraging data from a multisubject, multimodal (electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG and MEG)) neuroimaging experiment, we demonstrate the efficacy of the framework in identifying common features in response to face perception stimuli, while accommodating modality- and subject-specific variability.

f-FERM: A Scalable Framework for Robust Fair Empirical Risk Minimization

optimization-for-data-driven-science/f-ferm 6 Dec 2023

While numerous constraints and regularization terms have been proposed in the literature to promote fairness in machine learning tasks, most of these methods are not amenable to stochastic optimization due to the complex and nonlinear structure of constraints and regularizers.

Learning From Scenarios for Stochastic Repairable Scheduling

kimvandenhouten/learning-from-scenarios-for-repairable-stochastic-scheduling 6 Dec 2023

We are interested in a stochastic scheduling problem, in which processing times are uncertain, which brings uncertain values in the constraints, and thus repair of an initial schedule may be needed.

AdaSub: Stochastic Optimization Using Second-Order Information in Low-Dimensional Subspaces

jvictormata/adasub 30 Oct 2023

We introduce AdaSub, a stochastic optimization algorithm that computes a search direction based on second-order information in a low-dimensional subspace that is defined adaptively based on available current and past information.

Why Do We Need Weight Decay in Modern Deep Learning?

tml-epfl/why-weight-decay 6 Oct 2023

In this work, we highlight that the role of weight decay in modern deep learning is different from its regularization effect studied in classical learning theory.
