Contrary to common belief, we show that gradient ascent-based unconstrained optimization methods frequently fail to perform machine unlearning, a phenomenon we attribute to the inherent statistical dependence between the forget and retain data sets. This dependence, which can manifest itself even as…
We study nonmonotone games satisfying the weak Minty variational inequality (MVI) with parameter $\rho \in (-\tfrac{1}{L}, \infty)$, where $L$ is the Lipschitz constant of the gradient operator. An error corrected version of the inexact proximal point algorithm is proposed, with which we establish t…
Given a sequence of functions $f_1,\ldots,f_n$ with $f_i:\mathcal{D}\mapsto \mathbb{R}$, finite-sum minimization seeks a point ${x}^\star \in \mathcal{D}$ minimizing $\sum_{j=1}^nf_j(x)/n$. In this work, we propose a key twist into the finite-sum minimization, dubbed as *continual finite-sum minimiz…
