Muon with Nesterov Momentum: Heavy-Tailed Noise and (Randomized) Inexact Polar Decomposition

Sayantan Choudhury, Xiaoran Cheng, Martin Takáč +2

Most first-order optimizers treat matrix-valued parameters as vectors, ignoring the intrinsic geometry of hidden-layer weights in neural networks. Muon addresses this mismatch by u…
