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 Variational Inference: an Optimization Perspective

TL;DR: In this article, the convergence properties of boosting variational inference were studied from a modern optimization viewpoint by establishing connections to the classic Frank-Wolfe algorithm, and the sufficient conditions for convergence, explicit rates, and algorithmic simplifications.

Boosting Frank-Wolfe by Chasing Gradients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to align the descent direction with that of the negative gradient via a subroutine to speed up the Frank-Wolfe algorithm and derive convergence rates of O(1/t) to O(e − ϵ t ) for the first-order optimization algorithm.

Multi-label core vector machine with a zero label

TL;DR: This paper extends Rank-CVM via adding a zero label to construct its variant with azero label, which is formulated as the same quadratic programming form with a unit simplex constraint and non-negative ones as Rank- CVM, and then is solved by Frank–Wolfe method efficiently.

First-order Methods for the Impatient: Support Identification in Finite Time with Convergent Frank--Wolfe Variants

TL;DR: This paper analyzes two well-known and widely used variants of the Frank--Wolfe algorithm and first proves the existence of a nonconvex function over the unit simplex.
