Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), in one form or another, serves as the workhorse method for training modern machine learning models. Amidst its myriad variations, the SGD domain is both extensive and burgeoning, presenting a significant challenge for both practitioners and even experts to understand its landscape and inhabitants. This course offers a mathematically rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the field, drawing upon the most recent advancements and insights. It meticulously constructs a theory of convergence and complexity for SGD's serial, parallel, and distributed variants across strongly convex, convex, and nonconvex settings, incorporating randomness from subsampling, compression, and other sources.The curriculum also delves into advanced techniques such as acceleration through Polyak momentum or Nesterov extrapolation. A notable portion of the course is dedicated to a unified analysis of a large family of SGD variants. Historically, these variants have demanded distinct intuitions, convergence analyses, and applications, evolving separately across various communities. This framework includes but not limited to the useful techniques: variance reduction, data sampling, coordinate sampling, arbitrary sampling, importance sampling, mini-batching, quantization, sketching, dithering, and sparsification, as well as their combinations. This comprehensive exploration aims to equip learners with a deep understanding of SGD's intricate landscape, fostering the ability to adeptly apply and innovate upon these methods in their work.
