This approac h enhances optimization accuracy compared to relying solely on either unbi ased or biased gradients.\n\nInterest Area: Research & Education\n\nRecord ing: Livestreamed, Not Livestreamed, Recorded, Not Recorded\n\nRegistratio n Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Tuesday\n\nSession Chair: Men gqi Xia (Yale University)\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
