Adaptive Mirror Descent Bilevel Optimization
In the paper, we propose a class of efficient adaptive bilevel methods based on mirror descent for nonconvex bilevel optimization, where its upper-level problem is nonconvex possibly with nonsmooth regularization, and its lower-level problem is also nonconvex while satisfies Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (PL) condition. To solve these deterministic bilevel problems, we present an efficient adaptive projection-aid gradient (i.e., AdaPAG) method based on mirror descent, and prove that it obtains the best known gradient complexity of $O(\epsilon^{-1})$ for finding an $\epsilon$-stationary solution of nonconvex bilevel problems. To solve these stochastic bilevel problems, we propose an efficient adaptive stochastic projection-aid gradient (i.e., AdaVSPAG) methods based on mirror descent and variance-reduced techniques, and prove that it obtains the best known gradient complexity of $O(\epsilon^{-3/2})$ for finding an $\epsilon$-stationary solution. Since the PL condition relaxes the strongly convex, our algorithms can be used to nonconvex strongly-convex bilevel optimization. Theoretically, we provide a useful convergence analysis framework for our methods under some mild conditions, and prove that our methods have a fast convergence rate of $O(\frac{1}{T})$, where $T$ denotes the number of iterations.

Variance Reduction on General Adaptive Stochastic Mirror Descent
In this work, we investigate the idea of variance reduction by studying its properties with general adaptive mirror descent algorithms in nonsmooth nonconvex finite-sum optimization problems. We propose a simple yet gene…
Stochastic Mirror Descent: Convergence Analysis and Adaptive Variants via the Mirror Stochastic Polyak Stepsize
We investigate the convergence of stochastic mirror descent (SMD) under interpolation in relatively smooth and smooth convex optimization. In relatively smooth convex optimization we provide new convergence guarantees fo…
IGT-OMD: Implicit Gradient Transport for Decision-Focused Learning under Delayed Feedback
Decision-focused learning trains predictive models end-to-end against downstream decision loss, but online settings suffer delayed feedback: outcomes may not arrive for many environment interactions. We identify \emph{st…
Bilevel OptimizationParameter-free Mirror Descent
We develop a modified online mirror descent framework that is suitable for building adaptive and parameter-free algorithms in unbounded domains. We leverage this technique to develop the first unconstrained online linear…
A connection between Tempering and Entropic Mirror Descent
This paper explores the connections between tempering (for Sequential Monte Carlo; SMC) and entropic mirror descent to sample from a target probability distribution whose unnormalized density is known. We establish that …
