New research analyzes convergence of sign-based optimization algorithms

A new research paper explores the convergence properties of sign-based random reshuffling algorithms for nonconvex optimization. The study analyzes the SignRR algorithm, a variant of signSGD that processes data sequentially after reshuffling, and demonstrates that this reshuffling does not fully correct the bias introduced by discarding gradient magnitudes. The paper provides a finite-time bound for SignRR and proposes SignRVR, a variance-reduced alternative, which offers an improved stationarity bound. AI
