报告摘要：One efficient way to solve phase retrieval problem is through nonlinear least squares, which is a nonconvex optimization with numerous local minimas. However, simple gradient descent algorithms often work remarkably well and not get trapped in a local minimum in practice. To explain the success of these algorithms, we analyze the geometric landscape structure of the loss functions and show that for several nonconvex models in phase retrieval: a local minimum is also global minimum and at any saddle point there is a negative directional curvature. This structure allows a number of optimization algorithms to efficiently find a global minimizer without special initialization. This is a joint work with Prof. Jianfeng Cai, Dong Li and Yang Wang.
