General duality between optimal control and estimation
— Optimal control and estimation are dual in the LQG setting, as Kalman discovered, however this duality has proven difficult to extend beyond LQG. Here we obtain a more natural...

Optimal Stochastic Search and Adaptive Momentum
Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...

Almost All Learning Machines are Singular
— A learning machine is called singular if its Fisher information matrix is singular. Almost all learning machines used in information processing are singular, for example, layer...

An Empirical Study of Optimization for Maximizing Diffusion in Networks
Abstract. We study the problem of maximizing the amount of stochastic diffusion in a network by acquiring nodes within a certain limited budget. We use a Sample Average Approximati...
