Average Stochastic Gradient Descent, abbreviated as ASGD, averages the weights that are calculated in every iteration.
where being the weight tensor , being the base learning rate and being the gradient of the objective function evaluated at .
With the given update rule SGD assigns calculated weight to the model. But with ASGD assigns the following averaged weight ,
where is the weight tensor calculated in iteration 't'.
It is the decay term for the past weights used in the average.
It is the power value that is used to update the learning rate.
It is the optimization step at which the averaging is started. If the required number of iteration is lower than the TO value, then the averaging will not happen.
Hello, thank you for using the code provided by Hasty. Please note that some code blocks might not be 100% complete and ready to be run as is. This is done intentionally as we focus on implementing only the most challenging parts that might be tough to pick up from scratch. View our code block as a LEGO block - you can’t use it as a standalone solution, but you can take it and add to your system to complement it. If you have questions about using the tool, please get in touch with us to get direct help from the Hasty team.
