New learned optimizer improves training for BERT-Tiny, GPT-Tiny, and Vision Transformers

Researchers have developed a novel learned optimizer that dynamically recombines gradient history to improve model training efficiency and performance. This optimizer, with only 37,000 parameters, achieved significant improvements in just under an hour of GPU time. It demonstrated a 9.1% and 0.4% reduction in validation loss for BERT-Tiny and GPT-Tiny respectively, and outperformed Adam by 3.5 percentage points on a Vision Transformer and 2.7 percentage points on average across nine graph models. AI

IMPACT This new optimization technique could lead to faster and more efficient training of smaller language and vision models, potentially reducing computational costs.

    Lightweight and Versatile Learned Optimization by Recombination of Gradient History

    arXiv:2610.09604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight and versatile learned optimizer that dynamically recombines gradient history, represented as averages over disjoint time spans. The optimizer reduces the prediction space to one scalar coefficient p…
