New AOS-R system optimizes deep learning training by switching optimizers

Researchers have developed AOS-R, a novel adaptive optimizer switching system designed to improve deep network training efficiency and generalization. This system monitors six online gradient-space signals to dynamically switch between optimizers like AdamW, SGD-M, and Lion based on the evolving optimization landscape. In tests on CIFAR-100 with a WRN-28x10 model, AOS-R achieved superior accuracy with significantly fewer epochs compared to individual optimizers, and across multiple benchmarks, it demonstrated improved accuracy and faster convergence.

IMPACT AOS-R could accelerate deep learning model training and improve performance across various tasks.

    AOS: Adaptive Optimizer Switching via Training-State Signals for Faster Convergence and Better Generalization

    arXiv:2608.01997v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-optimizer training is a poor fit for the distinct phases of deep network optimization: adaptive methods handle noisy early gradients well but overshoot flat minima, while SGD with momentum generalizes better in the late phase…
