New Adam-inspired methods show accelerated convergence for convex objectives

Researchers have developed new deterministic methods inspired by the Adam optimizer, aiming to improve convergence rates for smooth convex objectives. These methods, Adam-HNAG and Adam-HNAG-s, utilize a variable-and-operator splitting technique to decouple momentum and adaptive preconditioning. By incorporating a Hessian-driven correction and Adam-style gradient feedback, the new algorithms demonstrate a discrete Lyapunov contraction, leading to an O(k^-2) objective-value bound under specific conditions. Numerical experiments suggest these methods offer improved performance compared to the original Adam recursion. AI

    Deterministic Adam-Inspired Methods with Accelerated Convergence Rate

    arXiv:2604.08742v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adam is widely used, but its convergence theory remains incomplete even in the deterministic full-batch setting because momentum and adaptive preconditioning are tightly coupled. For smooth convex objectives, we split the …
