If you have a question about this talk, please contact Sergey Sergeev. Riemannian optimization aims to design optimization algorithms for constrained problems, where the constraints enforce the variables to belong to a Riemannian manifold. Classical examples of Riemannian manifolds include, e.g., the set of orthogonal matrices, the set of subspaces of a given dimension (called the Grassman manifold), and the set of fixed-rank matrices. After a quick introduction to Riemannian optimization, and more specifically Riemannian gradient descent (RGD), we will present the tools needed to run RGD on the manifold of fixed-rank positive-semidefinite matrices, seen as a quotient of the set of full-rank rectangular matrices by the orthogonal group. We will also present recent results about related geometrical tools on that manifold. This manifold is particularly relevant when dealing with low-rank approximations of large positive-(semi)definite matrices.
