[~mengxr] Sorry for the delay. I wrote up a design proposal for the initial implementation. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like me to clarify anything.

> 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.
