abstract

We prove that stochastic gradient descent efficiently converges to the global optimizer of the maximum likelihood objective of an unknown linear time-invariant dynamical system from a sequence of noisy observations generated by the system. Even though the objective function is non-convex, we provide polynomial running time and sample complexity bounds under strong but natural assumptions. Linear systems identification has been studied for many decades, yet, to the best of our knowledge, these are the first polynomial guarantees for the problem we consider.

    Optimistic bilevel optimization with manifold lower-level minimizers is differentiable if the optimistic selection is unique, yielding a pseudoinverse hyper-gradient and a convergent HG-MS algorithm whose rate depends on intrinsic manifold dimension.
