The Underdamped Langevin Monte Carlo (ULMC) is a popular Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling method. It requires the computation of the full gradient of the log-density at each iteration, an expensive operation if the dimension of the problem is high. We propose a sampling method called Random Coordinate ULMC (RC-ULMC), which selects a single coordinate at each iteration to be updated and leaves the other coordinates untouched. We investigate the computational complexity of RC-ULMC and compare it with the classical ULMC for strongly log-concave probability distributions. We show that RC-ULMC is always cheaper than the classical ULMC, with a significant cost reduction when the problem is highly skewed and high dimensional. Our complexity bound for RC-ULMC is also tight in terms of dimension dependence.

带动量的随机梯度下降(SGDm)是深度学习中最流行的优化算法之一。虽然有丰富的SGDm理论用于凸问题,但该理论在深度学习的背景下发展得相当少,其中问题是非凸的,并且梯度噪声可能表现出重尾行为,正如最近的研究所观察到的那样。在这项研究中,我们考虑了一个\emph{continuous-time}变形的SGDm,称为欠阻尼朗之万动力学(ULD),并研究其渐近性质下的重尾扰动。支持最近的研究从统计物理,我们认为在理论上和经验上,这种扰动的重尾可以导致偏见,即使当步长很小,在这个意义上说,\emph{the optima of stationary distribution}的动态可能不匹配\emph{the optima of the cost function to be optimized}。作为补救措施,我们开发了一个新的框架,我们将其命名为\emph{fractional} ULD(FULD),并证明FULD针对所谓的吉布斯分布,其最优值与原始成本的最优值完全匹配。我们观察到,FULD的欧拉离散化与\emph{natural gradient}方法和\emph{gradient clipping}具有值得注意的算法相似性,为理解它们在深度学习中的作用带来了新的视角。我们支持我们的理论与合成模型和神经网络上进行的实验。
