New Adam Optimizer Generalizes to Manifolds for Transformer Training

Researchers have developed a novel method to generalize the Adam optimizer to various mathematical manifolds, which are crucial for optimizing neural networks. This new approach, detailed in an arXiv paper, leverages the structure of homogeneous spaces to create a global tangent space representation, allowing for the extension of Adam's steps without projection. The generalized optimizer has been successfully applied to train transformers and symplectic autoencoders, demonstrating superior performance over existing methods by enforcing orthogonality constraints with high precision. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and precise training of transformer models by overcoming limitations of current optimizers on complex mathematical structures.

    Generalizing Adam to Manifolds for Efficiently Training Transformers

    arXiv:2305.16901v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: One of the primary reasons behind the success of neural networks has been the emergence of an array of new, highly-successful optimizers, perhaps most importantly the Adam optimizer. It is widely used for training neural network…
