Adaptive Moment Estimation Optimization Algorithm Using Projection Gradient for Deep Learning
Abstract
Training deep neural networks is challenging. To accelerate training and enhance performance, we propose PadamP, a novel optimization algorithm. PadamP is derived by applying the adaptive estimation of the p-th power of the second-order moments under scale invariance, enhancing projection adaptability by modifying the projection discrimination condition. It is integrated into Adam-type algorithms, accelerating training, boosting performance, and improving generalization in deep learning. Combining projected gradient benefits with adaptive moment estimation, PadamP tackles unconstrained non-convex problems. Convergence for the non-convex case is analyzed, focusing on the decoupling of first-order moment estimation coefficients and second-order moment estimation coefficients. Unlike prior work relying on , our proof generalizes the convergence theorem, enhancing practicality. Experiments using VGG-16 and ResNet-18 on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 show PadamP's effectiveness, with notable performance on CIFAR-10/100, especially for VGG-16. The results demonstrate that PadamP outperforms existing algorithms in terms of convergence speed and generalization ability, making it a valuable addition to the field of deep learning optimization.
