Variance-Reduced Forward-Reflected-Backward Splitting for Stochastic Composite Inclusions
A new arXiv paper introduces variance-reduction techniques for the forward-reflected-backward splitting method, targeting stochastic composite inclusion problems that may be nonmonotone. The work contrasts its approach with unbiased estimators such as mini-batching, aiming to lower gradient noise in this optimization setting. It covers both unbiased and biased variants of the proposed methods.
