torch-optimizer 0.0.1a8

Simple example

import torch_optimizer as optim

# model = ...
optimizer = optim.DiffGrad(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)
optimizer.step()

Installation

Installation process is simple, just:

$ pip install torch_optimizer

Visualisations

Visualisations help us to see how different algorithms deals with simple situations like: saddle points, local minima, valleys etc, and may provide interesting insights into inner workings of algorithm. Rosenbrock and Rastrigin benchmark functions was selected, because:

• Rosenbrock (also known as banana function), is non-convex function that has one global minima (1.0. 1.0). The global minimum is inside a long, narrow, parabolic shaped flat valley. To find the valley is trivial. To converge to the global minima, however, is difficult. Optimization algorithms might pay a lot of attention to one coordinate, and have problems to follow valley which is relatively flat.

• Rastrigin function is a non-convex and has one global minima in (0.0, 0.0). Finding the minimum of this function is a fairly difficult problem due to its large search space and its large number of local minima.

  

Each optimizer performs 501 optimization steps. Learning rate is best one found by hyper parameter search algorithm, rest of tuning parameters are default. It is very easy to extend script and tune other optimizer parameters.

AdaMod

AdaMod method restricts the adaptive learning rates with adaptive and momental upper bounds. The dynamic learning rate bounds are based on the exponential moving averages of the adaptive learning rates themselves, which smooth out unexpected large learning rates and stabilize the training of deep neural networks.

import torch_optimizer as optim

# model = ...
optimizer = optim.AdaMod(
    m.parameters(),
    lr= 1e-3,
    betas=(0.9, 0.999),
    beta3=0.999,
    eps=1e-8,
    weight_decay=0,
)
optimizer.step()

DiffGrad

Optimizer based on the difference between the present and the immediate past gradient, the step size is adjusted for each parameter in such a way that it should have a larger step size for faster gradient changing parameters and a lower step size for lower gradient changing parameters.

import torch_optimizer as optim

# model = ...
optimizer = optim.DiffGrad(
    m.parameters(),
    lr= 1e-3,
    betas=(0.9, 0.999),
    eps=1e-8,
    weight_decay=0,
