1 Jun 2022 | Abstract: | In this paper, we study multi-block min-max bilevel optimization problems,
where the upper level is non-convex strongly-concave minimax objective and the
lower level is a strongly convex objective, and there are multiple blocks of
dual variables and lower level problems. Due to the intertwined multi-block
min-max bilevel structure, the computational cost at each iteration could be
prohibitively high, especially with a large number of blocks. To tackle this
challenge, we present a single-loop randomized stochastic algorithm, which
requires updates for only a constant number of blocks at each iteration. Under
some mild assumptions on the problem, we establish its sample complexity of
$mathcal{O}(1/epsilon^4)$ for finding an $epsilon$-stationary point. This
matches the optimal complexity for solving stochastic nonconvex optimization
under a general unbiased stochastic oracle model. Moreover, we provide two
applications of the proposed method in multi-task deep AUC (area under ROC
curve) maximization and multi-task deep partial AUC maximization. Experimental
results validate our theory and demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on
problems with hundreds of tasks. | Source: | arXiv, 2206.00260 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
