Researchers analyze Adam's tradeoffs and enhance SignSGD with hybrid switching strategy

Two new research papers explore advancements in optimization algorithms for machine learning. One paper provides a theoretical analysis of the Adam optimizer, detailing its performance under non-stationary objectives and identifying a trade-off between noise and drift. The second paper enhances the SignSGD algorithm by introducing a small-batch convergence analysis and a hybrid switching strategy, which includes dithering and a transition to SGD, achieving competitive accuracy on image classification tasks.

    Enhancing SignSGD: Small-Batch Convergence Analysis and a Hybrid Switching Strategy

    SignSGD compresses each stochastic gradient coordinate to a single bit, offering substantial memory and communication savings, but its 1-bit quantization removes magnitude information and is known to leave a generalization gap relative to well-tuned SGD. We revisit SignSGD from a…
