Convergence rates of biased stochastic optimization for learning sparse ising models

J Honorio - arXiv preprint arXiv:1206.4627, 2012 - arxiv.org
We study the convergence rate of stochastic optimization of exact (NP-hard) objectives, for
which only biased estimates of the gradient are available. We motivate this problem in the …

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) provide a way to represent variables (nodes) along
with their conditional dependencies (edges) and therefore allow formalizing our knowledge …
