The paper presents a probabilistic model for stochastic iterative algorithms, focusing on optimization algorithms. The proposed model yields PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds for functions defined on the algorithm’s trajectory, including expected convergence rate and time to reach the stopping criterion. This approach allows for learning stochastic algorithms based on empirical performance while also providing results about actual convergence rate and time. The model’s validity is demonstrated through five practically relevant experiments.

This paper creates a special kind of mathematical model that helps predict how well some types of computer programs will work. These programs are used to make decisions or find the best solution to a problem. The model is useful not just for optimization algorithms, but also for other areas where similar problems occur. To show it works, the researchers tested their idea with five real-world examples.
