SS--RS--GD Inequalities Resolved with AI Assistance

A new paper published on arXiv addresses the SS--RS--GD inequalities, a conjecture from COLT 2021 concerning the operators of single-shuffle SGD, random-reshuffle SGD, and gradient descent. The research demonstrates that the SS-RS inequality does not hold, providing specific counterexamples for n=3. However, the RS-GD inequality is proven to be true for a defined range of symmetric matrices. The paper notes that GPT-5.5 Pro was utilized to assist in the proof. AI

IMPACT This research provides theoretical insights into optimization algorithms, potentially influencing the development and understanding of AI training methods.

    A Resolution of the SS--RS--GD Inequalities

    arXiv:2607.22620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Yun, Sra, and Jadbabaie (COLT 2021, open question) conjectured the SS--RS--GD inequalities: for well-conditioned symmetric matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$, the operators $W_{ss}$, $W_{rs}$, and $W_{gd}$ that encode the expected iterate o…
