Enhanced First and Zeroth Order Variance Reduced Algorithms for Min-Max Optimization

Min-max optimization captures many important machine learning problems such as robust adversarial learning and inverse reinforcement learning, and nonconvex-strongly-concave min-max optimization has been an active line of research. Specifically, a novel variance reduction algorithm SREDA was proposed recently by (Luo et al. 2020) to solve such a problem, and was shown to achieve the optimal complexity dependence on the required accuracy level ϵ....
