Data Sampling Affects the Complexity of Online SGD over Dependent Data

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Shaocong Ma, Ziyi Chen, Yi Zhou, Kaiyi Ji, Yingbin Liang | Summary: Conventional machine learning applications typically assume that data samples are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, practical scenarios often involve a data-generating process that produces highly dependent data samples, which are known to heavily bias […]
