Resonance in Weight Space: Covariate Shift Can Drive Divergence of SGD with Momentum
Kirby Banman, Liam Peet-Pare, Nidhi Hegde +2
Most convergence guarantees for stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDm) rely on iid sampling. Yet, SGDm is often used outside this regime, in settings with temporally corr…
