the stability of learning rate in neural network identifiers and controllers is one of the challenging issues which attracts great interest from researchers of neural networks. this paper suggests adaptive gradient descent algorithm with stable learning laws for modified dynamic neural network (mdnn) and studies the stability of this algorithm. also, stable learning algorithm for parameters of ...

Several recent empirical studies demonstrate that important machine learning tasks such as training deep neural networks, exhibit a low-rank structure, where most of the variation in loss function occurs only few directions input space. In this paper, we leverage structure to reduce high computational cost canonical gradient-based methods gradient descent (GD). Our proposed Low-Rank Gradient De...

We propose a class of very simple modifications gradient descent and stochastic leveraging Laplacian smoothing. show that when applied to large variety machine learning problems, ranging from logistic regression deep neural nets, the proposed surrogates can dramatically reduce variance, allow take larger step size, improve generalization accuracy. The methods only involve multiplying usual (sto...

The move from hand-designed features to learned features in machine learning has been wildly successful. In spite of this, optimization algorithms are still designed by hand. In this paper we show how the design of an optimization algorithm can be cast as a learning problem, allowing the algorithm to learn to exploit structure in the problems of interest in an automatic way. Our learned algorit...
