ODE approximation for the Adam algorithm: General and overparametrized setting

Steffen Dereich, Arnulf Jentzen, Sebastian Kassing

The Adam optimizer is currently presumably the most popular optimization method in deep learning. In this article we develop an ODE based method to study the Adam optimizer in a fa…

Adam symmetry theorem: characterization of the convergence of the stochastic Adam optimizer

Steffen Dereich, Thang Do, Arnulf Jentzen +1

Beside the standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) method, the Adam optimizer due to Kingma & Ba (2014) is currently probably the best-known optimization method for the training…

Asymptotic stability properties and a priori bounds for Adam and other gradient descent optimization methods

Steffen Dereich, Robin Graeber, Arnulf Jentzen +1

Gradient descent (GD) based optimization methods are these days the standard tools to train deep neural networks in artificial intelligence systems. In optimization procedures in d…

Sharp higher order convergence rates for the Adam optimizer

Steffen Dereich, Arnulf Jentzen, Adrian Riekert

Gradient descent based optimization methods are the methods of choice to train deep neural networks in machine learning. Beyond the standard gradient descent method, also suitable…

In almost all shallow analytic neural network optimization landscapes, efficient minimizers have strongly convex neighborhoods

Felix Benning, Steffen Dereich

Whether or not a local minimum of a cost function has a strongly convex neighborhood greatly influences the asymptotic convergence rate of optimizers. In this article, we rigorousl…

Averaged Adam accelerates stochastic optimization in the training of deep neural network approximations for partial differential equation and optimal control problems

Steffen Dereich, Arnulf Jentzen, Adrian Riekert

Deep learning methods - usually consisting of a class of deep neural networks (DNNs) trained by a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization method - are nowadays omnipresent i…
