A Simple Practical Accelerated Method for Finite Sums Aaron Defazio Ambiata, Sydney Australia Abstract We describe a novel optimization method for finite sums (such as empirical risk minimization problems) building on the recently introduced SAGA method. Our method achieves an accelerated convergence rate ...
