Researchers have developed two new accelerated stochastic gradient descent methods, SHANG and SHANG++, designed to improve stability and convergence under multiplicative noise. SHANG is a semi-implicit discretization that enhances stability, while SHANG++ incorporates a damping correction for faster convergence and greater noise robustness. Both methods are proven to be effective for convex and strongly convex objectives, with SHANG++ demonstrating consistent performance across various applications, including deep learning tasks like training ResNet-34, where it maintained accuracy close to noise-free settings.
