Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are considered one of the vital efficient instruments for locating patterns in giant datasets by coaching. On the core of the coaching issues, we’ve complicated loss landscapes and the coaching of a DNN boils right down to optimizing the loss because the variety of iterations will increase. Just a few of essentially the most generally used optimizers are Stochastic Gradient Descent, RMSProp (Root Imply Sq. Propagation), Adam (Adaptive Second Estimation) and so on.
Just lately (September 2024), researchers from Apple (and EPFL) proposed a brand new optimizer, AdEMAMix¹, which they present to work higher and sooner than AdamW optimizer for language modeling and picture classification duties.
On this submit, I’ll go into element concerning the mathematical ideas behind this optimizer and focus on some very fascinating outcomes offered on this paper. Matters that might be lined on this submit are:
- Overview of Adam Optimizer
- Exponential Shifting Common (EMA) in Adam.
- The Important Thought Behind AdEMAMix: Combination of two EMAs.
- The Exponential Decay Price Scheduler in AdEMAMix.
