Random Reshuffling Proven to Outperform SGD in Optimization

Researchers have theoretically proven that Random Reshuffling (RR) outperforms standard Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) in smooth convex optimization. Previously, RR was considered a heuristic despite its empirical success, with theoretical limitations restricting its stepsize and convergence rates. This new work establishes that RR dominates SGD under any reasonable stepsize and after any finite number of epochs, resolving a long-standing open question in the field. AI
