Efficiency of coordinate descent methods on huge-scale optimization problems

NESTEROV, Yurii - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2010

In this paper we propose new methods for solving huge-scale optimization problems. For problems of this size, even the simplest full-dimensional vector operations are very expensive. Hence, we propose to apply an optimization technique based on random partial update of decision variables. For...
