In 2015 there appears a universal framework Catalyst that allows to accelerate almost arbitrary non-accelerated deterministic and randomized algorithms for smooth convex optimization problems Lin et al. (2015). This technique finds a lot of applications in Machine Learning due to the possibility to deal with sum-type target functions. The significant part of the Catalyst approach is accelerated proximal outer gradient method. This method used as an envelope for non-accelerated inner algorithm… Expand
