Researchers have introduced a continuous-time model for stochastic mirror descent (SMD) that accounts for heavy-tailed noise. This model, termed the Lévy mirror flow (LMF), is designed to analyze SMD's convergence guarantees when subjected to infinite-variance stochastic gradient inputs. The study demonstrates that LMF can still achieve $\epsilon$-optimality within specific time bounds, even with significant jump discontinuities, and provides corresponding discrete-time guarantees for SMD variants.
