New method approximates stochastic gradient descent over probability measures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel approach to approximate stochastic gradient descent (SGD) dynamics over probability measures, specifically within the Wasserstein space P2. By lifting the problem to a linear Hilbert space and utilizing Lions differentiability, they constructed a Gaussian random-field approximation. This approximation, which matches the mean and covariance of the original stochastic gradient, captures the SGD dynamics with second-order weak accuracy, offering a rigorous method for replacing sample-driven randomness with analytically tractable Gaussian fluctuations in stochastic optimization.
