摘要:

在本文中,我们研究了一个大家庭的SGD变体在光滑非凸制度的表现。为此,我们提出了一个通用的和灵活的假设能够准确建模的二阶矩的随机梯度。我们的假设是满足大量的特定变体的SGD在文献中,包括SGD与任意采样,SGD与压缩梯度,和各种各样的方差减少SGD方法,如SVRG和SAGA。我们提供了一个单一的收敛性分析的所有方法,满足所提出的统一假设,从而提供了一个统一的理解SGD的变种在非凸制度,而不是依赖于专门的分析每个变种。此外,我们的统一分析是准确的,足以恢复或改善最知名的几个经典方法的收敛性结果,也给出了新的收敛性结果,许多新的方法出现的特殊情况。在更一般的分布式/联邦非凸优化设置,我们提出了两个新的通用算法框架不同的是直接梯度压缩(DC)或压缩梯度差异(DIANA)。我们表明,这两个框架捕获的所有方法也满足我们的统一假设。因此,我们的统一收敛性分析也捕捉了大量的各种分布式方法,利用压缩通信。最后,我们还提供了一个统一的分析,以获得更快的线性收敛速率,在这个非凸制度下的PL条件。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we study the performance of a large family of SGD variants in the smooth nonconvex regime. To this end, we propose a generic and flexible assumption capable of accurate modeling of the second moment of the stochastic gradient. Our assumption is satisfied by a large number of specific variants of SGD in the literature, including SGD with arbitrary sampling, SGD with compressed gradients, and a wide variety of variance-reduced SGD methods such as SVRG and SAGA. We provide a single convergence analysis for all methods that satisfy the proposed unified assumption, thereby offering a unified understanding of SGD variants in the nonconvex regime instead of relying on dedicated analyses of each variant. Moreover, our unified analysis is accurate enough to recover or improve upon the best-known convergence results of several classical methods, and also gives new convergence results for many new methods which arise as special cases. In the more general distributed/federated nonconvex optimization setup, we propose two new general algorithmic frameworks differing in whether direct gradient compression (DC) or compression of gradient differences (DIANA) is used. We show that all methods captured by these two frameworks also satisfy our unified assumption. Thus, our unified convergence analysis also captures a large variety of distributed methods utilizing compressed communication. Finally, we also provide a unified analysis for obtaining faster linear convergence rates in this nonconvex regime under the PL condition.
