Paper Proposes Multi-block Single-probe Estimator for Coupled Compositional Optimization
A new arXiv preprint introduces a variance reduction technique for finite-sum coupled compositional optimization, a setting where existing single-function estimators such as SPIDER, SARAH and STORM do not directly apply. The authors propose a multi-block, single-probe estimator intended to improve convergence rates in this coupled setting. The work is a theoretical optimization contribution.
