Stochastic Gradient Descent Tricks
نویسنده
چکیده
Chapter 1 strongly advocates the stochastic back-propagation method to train neural networks. This is in fact an instance of a more general technique called stochastic gradient descent (SGD). This chapter provides background material, explains why SGD is a good learning algorithm when the training set is large, and provides useful recommendations.

Experiments with Stochastic Gradient Descent: Condensations of the Real line
It is well-known that training Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) can be difficult in practice. In the realm of stochastic gradient methods, several tricks have been used to obtain faster convergence. These include gradient averaging (known as momentum), averaging the parameters w, and different schedules for decreasing the “learning rate” parameter. In this article, we explore the use of con...
متن کاملIdentification of Multiple Input-multiple Output Non-linear System Cement Rotary Kiln using Stochastic Gradient-based Rough-neural Network
Because of the existing interactions among the variables of a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) nonlinear system, its identification is a difficult task, particularly in the presence of uncertainties. Cement rotary kiln (CRK) is a MIMO nonlinear system in the cement factory with a complicated mechanism and uncertain disturbances. The identification of CRK is very important for different pur...
متن کاملProject 1 Report : Logistic Regression
In this project, we study learning the Logistic Regression model by gradient ascent and stochastic gradient ascent. Regularization is used to avoid overfitting. Some practical tricks to improve learning are also explored, such as batch-based gradient ascent, data normalization, grid searching, early stopping, and model averaging. We observe the factors that affect the result, and determine thes...
متن کاملEarly Stopping is Nonparametric Variational Inference
We show that unconverged stochastic gradient descent can be interpreted as a procedure that samples from a nonparametric variational approximate posterior distribution. This distribution is implicitly defined as the transformation of an initial distribution by a sequence of optimization updates. By tracking the change in entropy over this sequence of transformations during optimization, we form...
متن کاملLinear Coupling: An Ultimate Unification of Gradient and Mirror Descent
First-order methods play a central role in large-scale convex optimization. Even though many variations exist, each suited to a particular problem form, almost all such methods fundamentally rely on two types of algorithmic steps and two corresponding types of analysis: gradient-descent steps, which yield primal progress, and mirror-descent steps, which yield dual progress. In this paper, we ob...
