We consider a safe optimization problem with bandit feedback in which an agent sequentially chooses actions and observes responses from the environment, with the goal of maximizing an arbitrary function of the response while respecting stage-wise constraints. We propose an algorithm for this problem, and study how the geometric properties of the constraint set impact the regret of the algorithm. In order to do so, we introduce the notion of the sharpness of a particular constraint set, which characterizes the difficulty of performing learning within the constraint set in an uncertain setting. This concept of sharpness allows us to identify the class of constraint sets for which the proposed algorithm is guaranteed to enjoy sublinear regret. Simulation results for this algorithm support the sublinear regret bound and provide empirical evidence that the sharpness of the constraint set impacts the performance of the algorithm.

This article provides a comprehensive understanding of optimization in deep learning, with a primary focus on the challenges of gradient vanishing and gradient exploding, which normally lead to diminished model representational ability and training instability, respectively. We analyze these two challenges through several strategic measures, including the improvement of gradient flow and the imposition of constraints on a network's Lipschitz constant. To help understand the current optimization methodologies, we categorize them into two classes: explicit optimization and implicit optimization. Explicit optimization methods involve direct manipulation of optimizer parameters, including weight, gradient, learning rate, and weight decay. Implicit optimization methods, by contrast, focus on improving the overall landscape of a network by enhancing its modules, such as residual shortcuts, normalization methods, attention mechanisms, and activations. In this article, we provide an in-depth analysis of these two optimization classes and undertake a thorough examination of the Jacobian matrices and the Lipschitz constants of many widely used deep learning modules, highlighting existing issues as well as potential improvements. Moreover, we also conduct a series of analytical experiments to substantiate our theoretical discussions. This article does not aim to propose a new optimizer or network. Rather, our intention is to present a comprehensive understanding of optimization in deep learning. We hope that this article will assist readers in gaining a deeper insight in this field and encourages the development of more robust, efficient, and high-performing models.

In this paper, we address the problem of distributed power allocation in a $K$ user fading multiple access wiretap channel, where global channel state information is limited, i.e., each user has knowledge of their own channel state with respect to Bob and Eve but only knows the distribution of other users' channel states. We model this problem as a Bayesian game, where each user is assumed to selfishly maximize his average \emph{secrecy capacity} with partial channel state information. In this work, we first prove that there is a unique Bayesian equilibrium in the proposed game. Additionally, the price of anarchy is calculated to measure the efficiency of the equilibrium solution. We also propose a fast convergent iterative algorithm for power allocation. Finally, the results are validated using simulation results.

The combinatorial pure exploration (CPE) in the stochastic multi-armed bandit setting (MAB) is a well-studied online decision-making problem: A player wants to find the optimal \emph{action} $\boldsymbol{\pi}^*$ from \emph{action class} $\mathcal{A}$, which is a collection of subsets of arms with certain combinatorial structures. Though CPE can represent many combinatorial structures such as paths, matching, and spanning trees, most existing works focus only on binary action class $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\{0, 1\}^d$ for some positive integer $d$. This binary formulation excludes important problems such as the optimal transport, knapsack, and production planning problems. To overcome this limitation, we extend the binary formulation to real, $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$, and propose a new algorithm. The only assumption we make is that the number of actions in $\mathcal{A}$ is polynomial in $d$. We show an upper bound of the sample complexity for our algorithm and the action class-dependent lower bound for R-CPE-MAB, by introducing a quantity that characterizes the problem's difficulty, which is a generalization of the notion \emph{width} introduced in Chen et al.[2014].

We analyze Newton's method with lazy Hessian updates for solving general possibly non-convex optimization problems. We propose to reuse a previously seen Hessian for several iterations while computing new gradients at each step of the method. This significantly reduces the overall arithmetical complexity of second-order optimization schemes. By using the cubic regularization technique, we establish fast global convergence of our method to a second-order stationary point, while the Hessian does not need to be updated each iteration. For convex problems, we justify global and local superlinear rates for lazy Newton steps with quadratic regularization, which is easier to compute. The optimal frequency for updating the Hessian is once every $d$ iterations, where $d$ is the dimension of the problem. This provably improves the total arithmetical complexity of second-order algorithms by a factor $\sqrt{d}$.

In digital online advertising, advertisers procure ad impressions simultaneously on multiple platforms, or so-called channels, such as Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, etc., each of which consists of numerous ad auctions. We study how an advertiser maximizes total conversion (e.g. ad clicks) while satisfying aggregate return-on-investment (ROI) and budget constraints across all channels. In practice, an advertiser does not have control over, and thus cannot globally optimize, which individual ad auctions she participates in for each channel, and instead authorizes a channel to procure impressions on her behalf: the advertiser can only utilize two levers on each channel, namely setting a per-channel budget and per-channel target ROI. In this work, we first analyze the effectiveness of each of these levers for solving the advertiser's global multi-channel problem. We show that when an advertiser only optimizes over per-channel ROIs, her total conversion can be arbitrarily worse than what she could have obtained in the global problem. Further, we show that the advertiser can achieve the global optimal conversion when she only optimizes over per-channel budgets. In light of this finding, under a bandit feedback setting that mimics real-world scenarios where advertisers have limited information on ad auctions in each channels and how channels procure ads, we present an efficient learning algorithm that produces per-channel budgets whose resulting conversion approximates that of the global optimal problem. Finally, we argue that all our results hold for both single-item and multi-item auctions from which channels procure impressions on advertisers' behalf.

Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) schemes are popular methods to treat multiscale equations that contain a stiff part and a non-stiff part, where the stiff part is characterized by a small parameter $\varepsilon$. In this work, we prove rigorously the uniform stability and uniform accuracy of a class of IMEX-RK schemes for a linear hyperbolic system with stiff relaxation. The result we obtain is optimal in the sense that it holds regardless of the value of $\varepsilon$ and the order of accuracy is the same as the design order of the original scheme, i.e., there is no order reduction.

Complete reliance on the fitted model in response surface experiments is risky and relaxing this assumption, whether out of necessity or intentionally, requires an experimenter to account for multiple conflicting objectives. This work provides a methodological framework of a compound optimality criterion comprising elementary criteria responsible for: (i) the quality of the confidence region-based inference to be done using the fitted model (DP-/LP-optimality); (ii) improving the ability to test for the lack-of-fit from specified potential model contamination in the form of extra polynomial terms; and (iii) simultaneous minimisation of the variance and bias of the fitted model parameters arising from this misspecification. The latter two components have been newly developed in accordance with the model-independent 'pure error' approach to the error estimation. The compound criteria and design construction were adapted to restricted randomisation frameworks: blocked and multistratum experiments, where the stratum-by-stratum approach was adopted. A point-exchange algorithm was employed for searching for nearly optimal designs. The theoretical work is accompanied by one real and two illustrative examples to explore the relationship patterns among the individual components and characteristics of the optimal designs, demonstrating the attainable compromises across the competing objectives and driving some general practical recommendations.

Local modifications of a computational domain are often performed in order to simplify the meshing process and to reduce computational costs and memory requirements. However, removing geometrical features of a domain often introduces a non-negligible error in the solution of a differential problem in which it is defined. In this work, we extend the results from [1] by studying the case of domains containing an arbitrary number of distinct Neumann features, and by performing an analysis on Poisson's, linear elasticity, and Stokes' equations. We introduce a simple, computationally cheap, reliable, and efficient a posteriori estimator of the geometrical defeaturing error. Moreover, we also introduce a geometric refinement strategy that accounts for the defeaturing error: Starting from a fully defeatured geometry, the algorithm determines at each iteration step which features need to be added to the geometrical model to reduce the defeaturing error. These important features are then added to the (partially) defeatured geometrical model at the next iteration, until the solution attains a prescribed accuracy. A wide range of two- and three-dimensional numerical experiments are finally reported to illustrate this work.

We propose strategies to estimate and make inference on key features of heterogeneous effects in randomized experiments. These key features include best linear predictors of the effects using machine learning proxies, average effects sorted by impact groups, and average characteristics of most and least impacted units. The approach is valid in high dimensional settings, where the effects are proxied (but not necessarily consistently estimated) by predictive and causal machine learning methods. We post-process these proxies into estimates of the key features. Our approach is generic, it can be used in conjunction with penalized methods, neural networks, random forests, boosted trees, and ensemble methods, both predictive and causal. Estimation and inference are based on repeated data splitting to avoid overfitting and achieve validity. We use quantile aggregation of the results across many potential splits, in particular taking medians of p-values and medians and other quantiles of confidence intervals. We show that quantile aggregation lowers estimation risks over a single split procedure, and establish its principal inferential properties. Finally, our analysis reveals ways to build provably better machine learning proxies through causal learning: we can use the objective functions that we develop to construct the best linear predictors of the effects, to obtain better machine learning proxies in the initial step. We illustrate the use of both inferential tools and causal learners with a randomized field experiment that evaluates a combination of nudges to stimulate demand for immunization in India.

Since deep neural networks were developed, they have made huge contributions to everyday lives. Machine learning provides more rational advice than humans are capable of in almost every aspect of daily life. However, despite this achievement, the design and training of neural networks are still challenging and unpredictable procedures. To lower the technical thresholds for common users, automated hyper-parameter optimization (HPO) has become a popular topic in both academic and industrial areas. This paper provides a review of the most essential topics on HPO. The first section introduces the key hyper-parameters related to model training and structure, and discusses their importance and methods to define the value range. Then, the research focuses on major optimization algorithms and their applicability, covering their efficiency and accuracy especially for deep learning networks. This study next reviews major services and toolkits for HPO, comparing their support for state-of-the-art searching algorithms, feasibility with major deep learning frameworks, and extensibility for new modules designed by users. The paper concludes with problems that exist when HPO is applied to deep learning, a comparison between optimization algorithms, and prominent approaches for model evaluation with limited computational resources.
