Abstract

Stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG) is a popular variance reduction technique for accelerating stochastic gradient descent (SGD). We provide a first analysis of the method for solving a class of linear inverse problems in the lens of the classical regularization theory. We prove that for a suitable constant step size schedule, the method can achieve an optimal convergence rate in terms of the noise level (under suitable regularity condition) and the variance of the SVRG iterate error is smaller than that by SGD. These theoretical findings are corroborated by a set of numerical experiments.
