New framework unifies first-order optimization inequalities for statistical analysis

A new paper introduces "basic inequalities" for first-order optimization algorithms, providing a framework that connects implicit and explicit regularization. This framework bounds the objective function's difference from a reference point based on accumulated step sizes and geometric distances between iterates. The research extends existing results for gradient descent and offers new findings for mirror descent and other first-order methods, with applications in deriving bounds for prediction risk in generalized linear models using early-stopped gradient descent and exponentiated gradient descent.
