Stochastic proximal splitting algorithm for composite minimization

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Supported by the recent contributions in multiple branches, the first-order splitting algorithms became central for structured nonsmooth optimization. In the large-scale or noisy contexts, when only stochastic information on the smooth part of the objective function is available, the extension of proximal gradient schemes to stochastic oracles is based on proximal tractability of the nonsmooth component and it has been deeply analyzed in the literature. However, there remained gaps illustrated by composite models where the nonsmooth term is not proximally tractable anymore. In this note we tackle composite optimization problems, where the access only to stochastic information on both smooth and nonsmooth components is assumed, using a stochastic proximal first-order scheme with stochastic proximal updates. We provide mathcalOleft(frac1kight) the iteration complexity (in expectation of squared distance to the optimal set) under the strong convexity assumption on the objective function. Empirical behavior is illustrated by numerical tests on parametric sparse representation models.
