New Theory: SA-Adam Adaptivity Asymptotically Invisible

Researchers have published a paper detailing a theoretical analysis of adaptive optimization algorithms, specifically focusing on SA-Adam with momentum and non-convergent adaptive preconditioning. The study proves a non-autonomous Polyak-Ruppert central limit theorem for this configuration, indicating that the adaptivity of the optimizer is asymptotically invisible in terms of the iterate-marginal covariance. This finding suggests that the optimizer's covariance structure mirrors that of plain stochastic gradient descent (SGD) under certain conditions, particularly with sub-linearly vanishing momentum gain.
