The Cost of an Unknown Horizon for the Last Iterate of Clipped SGD under Heavy-Tailed Noise

arXiv cs.LG ↗ · 2026-10-28 Cached

该论文确定了在重尾噪声(有界中心 p 阶矩,1<p≤2)下,平滑凸目标的裁剪 SGD 最后一次迭代的时间一致(time-uniform)最优收敛速率,证明了无需已知时间跨度的调度可达 O~(t^{-2(p-1)/(3p-1)}),且不存在更优的规则,回答了未知停止时间对收敛的代价问题。

The Convergence Behavior of Adam under Heavy-Tailed Noise

arXiv cs.LG ↗ · 2026-07-31 Cached

This paper establishes the first convergence guarantees for the plain vector-form Adam optimizer under heavy-tailed stochastic noise, showing it converges to stationary points but with suboptimal iteration complexity, and improves to optimal rates with a known domain radius.
