Tengyu Ma, Stanford Abstract: AdamW has long been the dominant optimizer in language model pretraining, despite numerous claims that alternative optimizers offer 1.4 to 2x speedup. We posit that two methodological shortcomings have obscured fair comparisons and hindered practical adoption: (i) unequal hyperparameter tuning and (ii) limited or misleading evaluation setups. To address these two […] |

Yang Zheng, UC San Diego Abstract: Direct policy search has achieved great empirical success in reinforcement learning. Many recent studies have revisited its theoretical foundation for continuous control, which reveals elegant nonconvex geometry in various benchmark problems. In this talk, we introduce an Extended Convex Lifting (ECL) framework, which reveals hidden convexity in classical optimal […] |

Bharath Sriperumbudur, Pennsylvania State University Abstract: Wasserstein gradient flows have become a popular tool in machine learning with applications in sampling, variational inference, generative modeling, and reinforcement learning, among others. The Wasserstein gradient flow (WGF) involves minimizing a probability functional over the Wasserstein space (by taking into account the intrinsic geometry of the Wasserstein space). […] |
