Core Innovation

This paper presents a novel Banach--Bregman framework that extends stochastic optimization beyond traditional Hilbert spaces to general Banach spaces. It unifies multiple stochastic methods under a single geometric approach using Bregman projections and monotonicity. The framework introduces super-relaxations that enable acceleration in non-Euclidean settings and provides rigorous convergence guarantees validated empirically across diverse AI tasks.
