Non-asymptotic rate for Random Shuffling for Quadratic functions
Published:
This article is in continuation of my previous blog, and discusses about a section of the work by Jeffery Z. HaoChen and Suvrit Sra 2018, in which the authors come up with a non-asymptotic rate of for Random Shuffling Stochastic algorithm which is strictly better than that of SGD. Read more
Bias-Variance Trade-offs for Averaged SGD in Least Mean Squares
Published:
This article is on the work by Défossez and Bach 2014, in which the authors develop an operator view point for analyzing Averaged SGD updates to show the Bias-Variance Trade-off and provide tight convergence rates of Least Mean Squared problem. Read more
Random Reshuffling converges to a smaller neighborhood than SGD
Published:
This article is on the recent work by Ying et. al. 2018, in which the authors show that SGD with Random Reshuffling outperforms independent sampling with replacement. Read more
Nesterov’s Acceleration
Published:
This post contains a summary and survey of the Nesterov’s accelerated gradient descent method and some insightful implications that can be derived from it. We analyze the simple convex quadratic case and have a close look at the dynamics of the error vectors. Read more

Sparse Regression and Support Recovery bounds for Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
Published:
We study the problem of sparse regression where the goal is to learn a sparse vector that best optimizes a given objective function. Under the assumption that the objective function satisfies restricted strong convexity (RSC), we analyze Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and obtain support recovery result as well as a tight generalization error bound for OMP. Furthermore, we obtain lower bounds for OMP, showing that both our results on support recovery and generalization error are tight up to logarithmic factors. To the best of our knowledge, these support recovery and generalization bounds are the first such matching upper and lower bounds (up to logarithmic factors) for any sparse regression algorithm under the RSC assumption.
