These decision problems have been addressed by multiple communities from operations research (stochastic programming, Markov decision processes, … AU - Filomeno Coelho, Rajan. First, the modified martingale model of forecast evolution (MMMFE) is used to disclose forecast uncertainty and improvements evolution and generate simulated reservoir inflow scenarios based on historical … PY - 2016. Center for Optimization under Uncertainty Research - COUR Symposium. In this paper, we establish a unified framework to study the almost sure global convergence and the expected convergence rates of a class of mini-batch stochastic (projected) gradient (SG) methods, including two popular types of SG: stepsize diminished SG and batch size increased SG. This framework consists of a mathematical model (that draws heavily from the framework used widely in stochastic control), which requires optimizing over policieswhich are functions for making decisions given what we know at a point in time (captured by the state variable). Abstract: Stochastic approximation, a data-driven approach for finding the fixed point of an unknown operator, provides a unified framework for treating many problems in stochastic optimization and reinforcement learning. Title:A Unified Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Methods for Nonconvex Federated Optimization. To this end, we propose a generic and flexible assumption capable of accurate modeling of the second moment of the stochastic … A Unified Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Methods for Nonconvex Federated Optimization. Stochastic optimization, also known as optimization under uncertainty, is studied by over a dozen communities, often (but not always) with different notational systems and styles, typically motivated by different problem classes (or sometimes different research questions) that often lead to different algorithmic strategies. To further improve the system capacity, … All users are randomly deployed to follow a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), which is modeled by the stochastic … Why do we need a unified framework?
