On Empirical Comparisons of Optimizers for Deep Learning
Dami Choi, Christopher J. Shallue, Zachary Nado +3
Selecting an optimizer is a central step in the contemporary deep learning pipeline. In this paper, we demonstrate the sensitivity of optimizer comparisons to the hyperparameter tu…
Faster Neural Network Training with Data Echoing
Dami Choi, Alexandre Passos, Christopher J. Shallue +1
In the twilight of Moore's law, GPUs and other specialized hardware accelerators have dramatically sped up neural network training. However, earlier stages of the training pipeline…
Which Algorithmic Choices Matter at Which Batch Sizes? Insights From a Noisy Quadratic Model
Guodong Zhang, Lala Li, Zachary Nado +5
Increasing the batch size is a popular way to speed up neural network training, but beyond some critical batch size, larger batch sizes yield diminishing returns. In this work, we…
