Status

pytorch-optimizer is bunch of optimizer collections in PyTorch. Also, including useful optimization ideas.

Most of the implementations are based on the original paper, but I added some tweaks.

Highly inspired by pytorch-optimizer.

Documentation

https://pytorch-optimizers.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Usage

Install

$ pip3 install -U pytorch-optimizer

or

$ pip3 install -U --no-deps pytorch-optimizer

Simple Usage

from pytorch_optimizer import AdamP

model = YourModel()
optimizer = AdamP(model.parameters())

# or you can use optimizer loader, simply passing a name of the optimizer.

from pytorch_optimizer import load_optimizer

model = YourModel()
opt = load_optimizer(optimizer='adamp')
optimizer = opt(model.parameters())

Also, you can load the optimizer via torch.hub

import torch

model = YourModel()
opt = torch.hub.load('kozistr/pytorch_optimizer', 'adamp')
optimizer = opt(model.parameters())

And you can check the supported optimizers & lr schedulers.

from pytorch_optimizer import get_supported_optimizers, get_supported_lr_schedulers

supported_optimizers = get_supported_optimizers()
supported_lr_schedulers = get_supported_lr_schedulers()

Useful Resources

Several optimization ideas to regularize & stabilize the training. Most of the ideas are applied in Ranger21 optimizer.

Also, most of the captures are taken from Ranger21 paper.

Adaptive Gradient Clipping

This idea originally proposed in NFNet (Normalized-Free Network) paper.

AGC (Adaptive Gradient Clipping) clips gradients based on the unit-wise ratio of gradient norms to parameter norms.

• code : github

• paper : arXiv

Gradient Centralization

Gradient Centralization (GC) operates directly on gradients by centralizing the gradient to have zero mean.

• code : github

• paper : arXiv

Softplus Transformation

By running the final variance denom through the softplus function, it lifts extremely tiny values to keep them viable.

• paper : arXiv

Gradient Normalization

Norm Loss

• paper : arXiv

Positive-Negative Momentum

Linear learning rate warmup

• paper : arXiv

Stable weight decay

• code : github

• paper : arXiv

Explore-exploit learning rate schedule

• code : github

• paper : arXiv

Lookahead

k steps forward, 1 step back. Lookahead consisting of keeping an exponential moving average of the weights that is

updated and substituted to the current weights every k_{lookahead} steps (5 by default).

• paper : arXiv

Chebyshev learning rate schedule

Acceleration via Fractal Learning Rate Schedules

• paper : arXiv

(Adaptive) Sharpness-Aware Minimization

Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) simultaneously minimizes loss value and loss sharpness.

In particular, it seeks parameters that lie in neighborhoods having uniformly low loss.
