In this paper, we propose a novel accelerated dual-averaging primal-dual algorithm for minimizing a composite convex function. We also derive a stochastic version of the proposed method which solves empirical risk minimization, and its advantages on handling sparse data are demonstrated both theoretically and empirically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-15T20:05:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "accelerated dual-averaging primal-dual method", "composite convex minimization", "dual averaging-type methods", "industrial machine learning applications", "composite convex function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Taylor-Francis" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
