Supported Optimizers
Visualizations
Visualizations help us to see how different algorithms deals with simple situations like: saddle points, local minima, valleys etc, and may provide interesting insights into inner workings of algorithm. Rosenbrock and Rastrigin benchmark functions was selected, because:
- Rosenbrock (also known as banana function), is non-convex function that has one global minima (1.0. 1.0). The global minimum is inside a long, narrow, parabolic shaped flat valley. To find the valley is trivial. To converge to the global minima, however, is difficult. Optimization algorithms might pay a lot of attention to one coordinate, and have problems to follow valley which is relatively flat.
Rastrigin function is a non-convex and has one global minima in (0.0, 0.0). Finding the minimum of this function is a fairly difficult problem due to its large search space and its large number of local minima.
Each optimizer performs 501 optimization steps. Learning rate is best one found by hyper parameter search algorithm, rest of tuning parameters are default. It is very easy to extend script and tune other optimizer parameters.

Warning
Do not pick optimizer based on visualizations, optimization approaches have unique properties and may be tailored for different purposes or may require explicit learning rate schedule etc. Best way to find out, is to try one on your particular problem and see if it improves scores.
If you do not know which optimizer to use start with built in SGD/Adam, once training logic is ready and baseline scores are established, swap optimizer and see if there is any improvement.

The dynamic learning rate bounds are based on the exponential moving averages of the adaptive learning rates themselves, which smooth out unexpected large learning rates and stabilize the training of deep neural networks.

AdamP
AdamP propose a simple and effective solution: at each iteration of Adam optimizer applied on scale-invariant weights (e.g., Conv weights preceding a BN layer), AdamP remove the radial component (i.e., parallel to the weight vector) from the update vector. Intuitively, this operation prevents the unnecessary update along the radial direction that only increases the weight norm without contributing to the loss minimization.
