Researchers have developed a new proximal stochastic subgradient method designed for minimizing expected costs in nonconvex optimization problems. This method is applicable to a broad range of integrands that are potentially nonsmooth and nonconvex, provided they satisfy a localized variant of the descent lemma. The approach refines sample averages progressively and uses an Armijo-type line search for stepsize selection, offering convergence guarantees even for non-convex regularizers and without strict variance bounds. The framework establishes almost sure convergence of function values and the stationarity of accumulation points, with further upgrades to full trajectory convergence under the Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz property.
