>
> Nesterov's accelerated first-order method is a drop-in replacement for
> steepest descent but it converges much faster. We should implement this
> method and compare its performance with existing algorithms, including SGD
> and L-BFGS.
> TFOCS (http://cvxr.com/tfocs/) is a reference implementation of Nesterov's
> method and its variants on composite objectives.
