Ori: Drift-Aware Streaming $k$-PCA for Very Low-Rank LLM Training

A prominent family of low-rank LLM optimizers, pioneered by GaLore, performs gradient-subspace projection: at each step, they project the gradient into a low-dimensional subspace and map the update back to the full model. Most existing work either recomputes the gradient subspace at certain intervals, or performs post-...

MuonIO: Principled Norm-Aware Descent for Embedding Tables and Language Model Heads

The Muon optimizer derives its update rule for hidden linear layers by solving a local linearization of the loss penalized by the spectral norm, motivated by an RMS-stability argument for dense linear layers. Standard Muon implementations, however, exclude the input (embedding table) and output (language model head) la...

Near-Optimal Acceleration for Smooth $\ell_p$ / $\ell_q$ Nondual Convex First-Order Oracle Optimization

We study the optimization of convex objectives with $(L,\kappa-1)$-H\"older-continuous gradients in $\ell_q$ over $R B_p^d$, $1<\kappa\le 2$. (MG26) provides selectors with a movement bound for the problem of chasing high-dimensional convex nested sets for every $p<q$ and generally reduces Lipschitz convex optimization...

The First-Order Oracle Complexity of Lipschitz Convex Optimization in Nondual Settings

We study first-order black-box convex optimization over an $\ell_p$-ball for objectives Lipschitz in the $\ell_q$-norm, solving in the affirmative the nonsmooth version of the COLT open question (Guz15b) on whether the geometry of a smaller feasible set ($p<q$) can improve convergence rates in convex optimization, and...

Spectral Saliency for Machine Unlearning

Inspired by Muon, this work adopts the spectral view for unlearning and proposes Spectral Saliency Unlearning (SSU), a thresholding approach that thresholds weak singular components and updates only those directions supported by a confident unlearning signal.
