Learning-Rate-Free Stochastic Optimization over Riemannian Manifolds

ICML 2024spotlight

In recent years, interest in gradient-based optimization over Riemannian manifolds has surged. However, a significant challenge lies in the reliance on hyperparameters, especially the learning rate, which requires meticulous tuning by practitioners to ensure convergence at a suitable rate. In this w…

Tuning-Free Maximum Likelihood Training of Latent Variable Models via Coin Betting

AISTATS 2024poster

We introduce two new particle-based algorithms for learning latent variable models via marginal maximum likelihood estimation, including one which is entirely tuning-free. Our methods are based on the perspective of marginal maximum likelihood estimation as an optimization problem: namely, as the mi…
