The Seventh Workshop on Interdisciplinary Sciences (WIS 2025)
Invited talk
- Speaker: Prof. Tran Minh Ngoc (Associate Professor, The University of Sydney)
- Title: Intrinsic natural gradient: definition, computation and applications
- Time: Thursday 17 July 2025, 16:45 ~ 17:45
- Room: C-513 (West 1 buidling)
- Abstract: The Euclidean natural gradient method is a widely used tool in statistical optimization. We extend the concept of natural gradient to a Riemannian manifold and develop a computationally efficient method for computing it. The method is fully intrinsic, avoiding reliance on an ambient Euclidean space. We apply the method to the Variational Bayes and Maximum Likelihood Estimation problems, where the parameters lie on a manifold. We establish theoretical convergence guarantees comparable to those of standard stochastic gradient descent, and validate the robustness and efficiency of our approach across a range of learning tasks. Joint work with Dario Draca.
