TLDR
It is given a detailed proof, under slightly weaker conditions on the objective function, that a modified Frank-Wolfe algorithm based on Wolfe's ‘away step’ strategy can achieve geometric convergence, provided a strict complementarity assumption holds.

Boosting Frank-Wolfe by Chasing Gradients

TL;DR: This paper proposes to speed up the Frank-Wolfe algorithm by better aligning the descent direction with that of the negative gradient via a subroutine, and derives convergence rates to $\mathcal{O}(1/t)$ to $e^{-\omega t})$ of the method.

A PARTAN-accelerated Frank-Wolfe algorithm for large-scale SVM classification

TL;DR: This paper investigates the application of Frank-Wolfe algorithms to Machine Learning, focusing in particular on a Parallel Tangent (PARTAN) variant of the FW algorithm for SVM classification, which has not been previously suggested or studied for this type of problem.

Revisiting the approximate Carathéodory problem via the Frank-Wolfe algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the approximate Caratheodory problem by solving the primal problem via the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, providing a simplified analysis and leading to an efficient practical method.

Avoiding bad steps in Frank Wolfe variants

TL;DR: The Short Step Chain (SSC) procedure, which skips gradient computations in consecutive short steps until proper stopping conditions are satisfied, is defined, which allows a unified analysis and converge rates in the general smooth non convex setting, as well as a linear convergence rate under a Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL).

Fast and Scalable Lasso via Stochastic Frank-Wolfe Methods with a Convergence Guarantee

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a high-performance implementation of the Frank-Wolfe (FW) method tailored to solve large-scale Lasso regression problems, based on a randomized iteration, and prove that the convergence guarantees of the standard FW method are preserved in the stochastic setting.
