Metric Perspective of Stochastic Optimizers

Date:

This talk gives a high-level overview for the major classes of stochastic optimizers from the perspective of the model parameter space. The talk covers following algorithms:

  • Quasi-Newton Methods: Finite-Difference (SGD-QN, AdaDelta, VSGD), Extended Gauss-Newton (KSD, SMD, HF), LBFGS (LBFGS, RES)
  • Natural Gradient Type: Natural Gradient, TONGA
  • Root Mean Square Type: AdaGrad, RMSProp, Adam
