“sgdm”: Uses the stochasticgradient descentwith momentum (SGDM) optimizer. You can specify the momentum value using the “Momentum” name-value pair argument. “rmsprop”: Uses the RMSProp optimizer. You can specify the decay rate of the squared gradient moving average using the “SquaredGradie...
2) (“On-line”) Stochastic gradient descent v2 In practice, since we usually work with a fixed-size samples and want to make best use of all training data available, we usually use the concept of “epochs.” In the context of machine learning, an epoch means “one pass over the train...
“true” cost gradient. Due to its stochastic nature, the path towards the global cost minimum is not “direct” as in Gradient Descent, but may go “zig-zag” if we are visuallizing the cost surface in a 2D space. However, it has been shown that Stochastic Gradient Descent almost ...
Among these approaches, the most widely employed scheme is the so called stochastic gradient descent (SGD) method, firstly proposed in [3]. Despite the prevalent use of SGD, it is well known that both the convergence and the performance of the algorithm are strongly dependent on the setting ...
Like the gradient descent algorithm, SGD is also used to find the minimum of an objective function. The algorithm works by repeatedly taking steps in the direction of the negative gradient of the function, where the gradient measures the rate of change of the function at ...

Introduction Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular supervised binary classification algorithm based on statistical learning theory. Initially proposed by Vapnik [1,2...
Stochastic gradient descentoptimizes the parameters of a model, such as an artificial neural network, that involves randomly shuffling the training dataset before each iteration that causes different orders of updates to the model parameters. In addition, model weights in a neural network are often ...
down a mountain (cost function) into a valley (cost minimum), and each step is determined by the steepness of the slope (gradient) and the leg length of the hiker (learning rate). Considering a cost function with only a single weight coefficient, we can illustrate this concept as follows...
This is the first time a linear rate is shown for the stochastic heavy ball method (i.e., stochastic gradient descent method with momentum). Under somewhat weaker conditions, we establish a sublinear convergence rate for Cesaro averages of primal iterates. Moreover, we propose a novel concept...
In this paper, we develop a new training strategy for SGD, referred to as Inconsistent Stochastic Gradient Descent (ISGD) to address this problem. The core concept of ISGD is the inconsistent training, which dynamically adjusts the training effort w.r.t the loss. ISGD models the training ...
