Adaptive Accelerated (Extra-)Gradient Methods with Variance Reduction

Zijian Liu, Ta Duy Nguyen, Alina Ene, Huy Nguyen

Abstract

In this paper, we study the finite-sum convex optimization problem focusing on the general convex case. Recently, the study of variance reduced (VR) methods and their accelerated variants has made exciting progress. However, the step size used in the existing VR algorithms typically depends on the smoothness parameter, which is often unknown and requires tuning in practice. To address this problem, we propose two novel adaptive VR algorithms:
