Cost-Aware Learning

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.28020v1 Announce Type: new We consider the problem of Cost-Aware Learning, where sampling different component functions of a finite-sum objective incurs different costs. The objective is to reach a target error while minimizing the total cost. First, we propose the Cost-Aware Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithm for convex functions, and derive its cost complexity to attain an error of $\epsilon$. Furthermore, we establish a lower bound for this setting and provide a subset selection algorithm to further reduce the cost of
