Question: Does it make sense to rename the @WhiteHouse? (This might be naive thinking but it seems like it may send a strong symbolic message if implemented.) #BLM

Finally, after several years of searching, we have found a provable (and implementable) analog of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for Riemannian manifolds. Amazing effort by @KwangjunA, appearing in COLT 2020. arxiv.org/abs/2001.08876

Check out the simplest derivation of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method in my student Kwangjun's work: arxiv.org/abs/2005.08304 -- it provides an intuitive way to obtain Nesterov's AGD (so it's not just about analyzing the AGD iteration, but discovering it in the first place!)

Understanding Nesterov's Acceleration via Proximal Point Method

The proximal point method (PPM) is a fundamental method in optimization that is often used as a building block for designing optimization algorithms. In this work, we use the PPM method to provide...

Hi, any advice on how to deal with @HomeDepot making it a nightmare to have Washer/Dryer installed (maybe #COVID19 making it harder). HD keeps promising to "call back" but nvr does! should've used @Lowes! #regret Is @HomeDepot well-known to be so unfriendly, esp. these days?

Anybody know what's the @NeurIPSConf deadline going to be this year? Would be quite useful to know it early in general to help plan better.

Meta-reviewer boldly claims that our entire theorem is wrong by providing a "counterxample" wherein they claim S=[1 0; 0 -2] to be a positive definite matrix, while denouncing our claims to be false!! 🤯Are you sure you want to be meta-reviewing? Please be more considerate.

Anyone else having trouble with @Delta website? It keeps throwing an error saying "last name cannot be left blank" when trying to pay, even though all the info is there! What a waste of time-wonder who unleashes untested websites like this!
