We study implicit regularization when optimizing an underdetermined quadratic objective over a matrix $X$ with gradient descent on a factorization of X. We conjecture and provide empirical and theoretical evidence that with small enough step sizes and initialization close enough to the origin, gradient descent on a full dimensional factorization converges to the minimum nuclear norm solution.
Keywords: Non-Convex Optimization

I am a staff research scientist at Google. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at New York University and a member of Theoretical Machine Learning program at Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton. In summer 2017, I received a PhD in computer science at TTI-Chicago where I was fortunate to be advised by Nati Srebro.
