Learning rate schedulers significantly impact AI model accuracy across architectures

Researchers have conducted a systematic evaluation of learning rate scheduling strategies across various neural network architectures. By testing 25 scheduler configurations on 3,938 model variants from nine PyTorch families, they found that scheduler choice significantly impacts classification accuracy. The study revealed that strategies like CosineAnnealingWarmRestarts and CyclicLR consistently outperformed basic decay methods, with the best configuration achieving 86.45% accuracy on CIFAR-10. The findings are intended to serve as a practical reference for selecting appropriate schedulers based on architecture. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical reference for selecting optimal learning rate schedulers, potentially improving training efficiency and model performance.

    Systematic Evaluation of Learning Rate Scheduling Strategies Across Heterogeneous Architectures

    Choosing a learning rate scheduling strategy is critical to neural network training, but manual selection is costly and rarely exhaustive. While classical AutoML approaches often treat the scheduler as a secondary hyperparameter, we systematically investigate its impact on classi…
