New analysis unifies gradient descent convergence for deep neural networks

Researchers have developed a unified convergence analysis for various gradient descent optimization methods used in training deep neural networks. This new analysis applies to a broad range of optimizers, including Adam, Momentum, and RMSprop, when used with analytic activation functions like Softplus and GeLU. The study utilizes Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz inequalities to demonstrate convergence to critical points, offering a novel contribution to the understanding of AI optimization algorithms, particularly for the Adam optimizer.

    Unified convergence analysis for gradient descent optimization methods in the training of deep neural networks

    arXiv:2607.04233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gradient based optimization methods are nowadays the methods of choice for training deep neural networks (DNNs) in artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In practically relevant DNN training problems, one does usually not apply the…
