AdamOptimizer

class paddle.fluid.optimizer. AdamOptimizer ( learning_rate=0.001, beta1=0.9, beta2=0.999, epsilon=1e-08, parameter_list=None, regularization=None, grad_clip=None, name=None, lazy_mode=False ) [source]

The Adam optimizer uses an optimization described at the end of section 2 of Adam paper , it can dynamically adjusts the learning rate of each parameter using the 1st moment estimates and the 2nd moment estimates of the gradient.

The parameter param_out update rule with gradient grad:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}t & = t + 1\\\begin{split}moment\_1\_out & = {\\beta}_1 * moment\_1 + (1 - {\\beta}_1) * grad\end{split}\\\begin{split}moment\_2\_out & = {\\beta}_2 * moment\_2 + (1 - {\\beta}_2) * grad * grad\end{split}\\\begin{split}learning\_rate & = learning\_rate * \\ \\frac{\sqrt{1 - {\\beta}_2^t}}{1 - {\\beta}_1^t}\end{split}\\\begin{split}param\_out & = param - learning\_rate * \\frac{moment\_1}{\sqrt{moment\_2} + \epsilon}\end{split}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Parameters

  • learning_rate (float|Variable, optional) – The learning rate used to update Parameter. It can be a float value or a Variable with a float type. The default value is 0.001.

  • beta1 (float|Variable, optional) – The exponential decay rate for the 1st moment estimates. It should be a float number or a Variable with shape [1] and data type as float32. The default value is 0.9.

  • beta2 (float|Variable, optional) – The exponential decay rate for the 2nd moment estimates. It should be a float number or a Variable with shape [1] and data type as float32. The default value is 0.999.

  • epsilon (float, optional) – A small float value for numerical stability. The default value is 1e-08.

  • parameter_list (Iterable, optional) – Iterable of Variable names to update to minimize loss. This parameter is required in dygraph mode. The default value is None in static mode, at this time all parameters will be updated.

  • regularization (WeightDecayRegularizer, optional) –

    The strategy of regularization. There are two method:

    api_fluid_regularizer_L1Decay , api_fluid_regularizer_L2Decay . If a parameter has set

    System Message: WARNING/2 (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paddle/fluid/optimizer.py:docstring of paddle.fluid.optimizer.AdamOptimizer, line 44)

    Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

    regularizer using api_fluid_ParamAttr already, the regularization setting here in optimizer will be ignored for this parameter. Otherwise, the regularization setting here in optimizer will take effect. Default None, meaning there is no regularization.

  • grad_clip (GradientClipBase, optional) – Gradient cliping strategy, it’s an instance of some derived class of GradientClipBase . There are three cliping strategies ( api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByGlobalNorm , api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByNorm , api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByValue ). Default None, meaning there is no gradient clipping.

  • name (str, optional) – Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to Name. The default value is None.

  • lazy_mode (bool, optional) – The official Adam algorithm has two moving-average accumulators. The accumulators are updated at every step. Every element of the two moving-average is updated in both dense mode and sparse mode. If the size of parameter is very large, then the update may be very slow. The lazy mode only update the element that has gradient in current mini-batch, so it will be much more faster. But this mode has different semantics with the original Adam algorithm and may lead to different result. The default value is False.
