Multistage Conditional Compositional Optimization

2026-04-15 · Buse Şen, Yifan Hu, Daniel Kuhn arxiv

We introduce Multistage Conditional Compositional Optimization (MCCO) as a new paradigm for decision-making under uncertainty that combines aspects of multistage stochastic programming and conditional stochastic optimization. MCCO minimizes a nest of conditional expectations and nonlinear cost functions. It has numerous applications and arises, for example, in optimal stopping, linear-quadratic regulator problems, distributionally robust contextual bandits, as well as in problems involving dynamic risk measures. The naïve nested sampling approach for MCCO suffers from the curse of dimensionality familiar from scenario tree-based multistage stochastic programming, that is, its scenario complexity grows exponentially with the number of nests. We develop new multilevel Monte Carlo techniques for MCCO whose scenario complexity grows only polynomially with the desired accuracy.

Gradient Descent Resists Compositionality

2021-01-01 · Yuanpeng Li, Liang Zhao, Joel Hestness, Kenneth Church 외

In this paper, we argue that gradient descent is one of the reasons that make compositionality learning hard during neural network optimization. We find that the optimization process imposes a bias toward non-composition…
