An accelerated minimal gradient method with momentum for strictly convex quadratic optimization

H Oviedo, O Dalmau, R Herrera - BIT Numerical Mathematics, 2022 - Springer
In this article we address the problem of minimizing a strictly convex quadratic function using
a novel iterative method. The new algorithm is based on the well-known Nesterov's …

Provable Acceleration of Wide Neural Net Training via Polyak's Momentum

JK Wang, J Abernethy - openreview.net
Incorporating a so-called momentum dynamic in gradient descent methods is widely used in
neural net training as it has been broadly observed that, at least empirically, it often leads to …
