Matrix optimization landscape analyzed using Riemannian geometry

This paper analyzes the global landscape of a fixed-rank matrix optimization problem using the Burer-Monteiro factorization and Riemannian geometry. The research characterizes the search space into three regions based on geodesic convexity and smoothness properties. It provides a geometric explanation for the effectiveness of gradient descent in this factorization and offers a quantitative bound for convexity radius in Bures-Wasserstein space. AI

    Nonconvex Matrix Factorization is Geodesically Convex: Global Landscape Analysis for Fixed-rank Matrix Optimization From a Riemannian Perspective

    arXiv:2209.15130v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study a general matrix optimization problem with a fixed-rank positive semidefinite (PSD) constraint. We perform the Burer-Monteiro factorization and consider a particular Riemannian quotient geometry in a search space …
