Abstract: Abstract Most machine learning methods can be regarded as the minimization of an unavailable risk function. To optimize the latter, with samples provided in a streaming fashion, we define general (weighted averaged) stochastic Newton algorithms, for which a theoretical analysis of their asymptotic efficiency is conducted. The corresponding implementations are shown not to require the inversion of a Hessian estimate at each iteration under a quite flexible framework that covers the case of linear, logistic or softmax regressions to name a few. Numerical experiments on simulated and real data give the empirical evidence of the pertinence of the proposed methods, which outperform popular competitors particularly in case of bad initializations.
