Alternating Proximal Point Algorithm with Gradient Descent and Ascent Steps for Convex-Concave Saddle-Point Problems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inspired by the Optimistic Gradient Ascent-Proximal Point Algorithm (OGAProx) proposed by Bo{ţ}, Csetnek, and Sedlmayer for solving a saddle-point problem associated with a convex-concave function with a nonsmooth coupling function and one regularizing function, we introduce the Alternating Proximal Point Algorithm with Gradient Descent and Ascent Steps for solving a saddle-point problem associated with a convex-concave function constructed by a smooth coupling function and two regularizing functions. In this work, we not only provide weak and linearly convergence of the sequence of iterations and of the minimax gap function evaluated at the ergodic sequences, similarly to what Bo{ţ} et al.\,did, but also demonstrate the convergence and linearly convergence of function values evaluated at convex combinations of iterations under convex and strongly convex assumptions, respectively.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
