nadir 0.0.1.dev1

Nadir is a library of bleeding-edge DL optimisers built for speed and functionality in PyTorch for researchers

Nadir

Nadir (pronounced nay-d-ah) is derived from the arabic word nazir, means the lowest point of a space and is the opposite of the word zenith. In optimisation terms, it is equivalent to the point of minima. And making the machine learning model reach that point of Nadir under optimisation is the purpose of this library.

This library is built on top of PyTorch to provide high-performing general-purpose optimisation algorithms.

Supported Optimisers

Optimiser	Paper
SGD
Adam

Installation

Currently, Nadir is not on the PyPi packaging index, so you would need to install it from source.

To install Nadir into your python environment, paste the commands in your terminal:

$ pip install nadir

Usage

import nadir as nd

# some model setup here...
model = ...

# set up your Nadir optimiser
config = nd.SGDConfig(lr=learning_rate)
optimizer = nd.SGD(model.parameters(), config)
