Invented some 65 years ago in a seminal paper by Marguerite Straus-Frank and Philip Wolfe, the Frank–Wolfe method recently enjoys a remarkable revival, fuelled by the need of fast and reliable first-order optimization methods in Data Science and other relevant application areas. This review tries to explain the success of this approach by illustrating versatility and applicability in a wide range of contexts, combined with an account on recent progress in variants, improving on both the speed and efficiency of this surprisingly simple principle of first-order optimization.

Abstract
Invented some 65 years ago in a seminal paper by Marguerite Straus-Frank and Philip Wolfe, the Frank–Wolfe method recently enjoys a remarkable revival, fuelled by the need of fast and reliable first-order optimization methods in Data Science and other relevant application areas. This review tries to explain the success of this approach by illustrating versatility and applicability in a wide range of contexts, combined with an account on recent progress in variants, improving on both the speed and efficiency of this surprisingly simple principle of first-order optimization.File in questo prodotto:
