New lower bound found for bilevel optimization

Researchers have established a new lower bound for bilevel optimization problems, specifically $\Omega(\kappa_y^{5/2} \epsilon^{-2})$. This finding reveals a gap in the condition number dependency between bilevel and minimax problems. The study also extends these lower bounds to various settings, including higher-order smooth functions, stochastic oracles, and convex objectives. AI

IMPACT Establishes theoretical limits for optimization algorithms, potentially influencing future AI model training techniques.

    On the Condition Number Dependency in Bilevel Optimization

    arXiv:2511.22331v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bilevel optimization minimizes an objective function, defined by an upper-level problem whose feasible region is the solution of a lower-level problem. We study the oracle complexity of finding an $\epsilon$-stationary poi…
