New framework shows equivalence between neural network optimizers

Researchers have introduced HyperTransfer, a novel framework that demonstrates the dynamic equivalence between Hyperball and Base Optimizers in neural network optimization. This equivalence allows HyperTransfer to accurately reproduce the dynamics of a target Base Optimizer using only its initialization and learning-rate schedule, without needing to run the target optimizer itself. The framework has been extended to non-scale-invariant networks, with experiments showing that HyperTransfer and its inverse mapping yield loss trajectories nearly identical to their target optimizers.

    HyperTransfer: Understanding the Equivalence between Base Optimizer and Hyperball

    arXiv:2609.07017v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperball optimizers constrain parameter norms and update only their directions, establishing a distinct paradigm for neural network optimization. Although this geometry appears fundamentally different from that of conventional Base…
