New theory explains constant-step SGD with momentum

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to analyze the behavior of constant-step stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM). This framework treats the coupled parameter and momentum recursions as a nonlinear time series, demonstrating that the process geometrically forgets its initialization under certain moment conditions. The study also establishes an invariance principle and a quenched Gaussian limit for averaged SGDM, with a small-learning-rate analysis yielding a Gaussian limit for the last iterate. AI

IMPACT Provides a deeper theoretical understanding of optimization algorithms used in machine learning model training.

    A Nonlinear Time-Series Theory for Constant-step SGD with Momentum

    arXiv:2610.16034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constant-step stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) augments the parameter recursion with a momentum state that carries geometrically decaying memory of past stochastic gradients. We study this coupled recursion as a nonl…
