Adam Optimizer Convergence Properties Revisited in New Research Paper

A new paper revisits the convergence properties of the Adam optimization algorithm, demonstrating that projected Adam with arbitrary moment decay parameters can exhibit average regret bounded away from zero. This finding extends to various Adam variants, including AdamW, RMSProp, NAdam, Adan, AdaMax, and Muon. The research utilizes a three-periodic sequence of linear functions, similar to prior work but with a slightly adjusted parameter for the slope. AI

    On the Convergence of Adam, Revisited

    We show that projected Adam for online optimization with arbitrary moment decay parameters $β_1,β_2\in[0,1)$ can have average regret bounded away from zero. A similar result of Reddi-Kale-Kumar from 2018 required $β_1<\sqrt{β_2}$. Similar to their result, we use a three-periodic …
