PyPI - Version PyPI - Python Version PyPI - Wheel GitHub - LICENSE

An optimizer that trains as fast as Adam and as good as SGD, for developing state-of-the-art deep learning models on a wide variety of popular tasks in the field of CV, NLP, and etc.

Based on Luo et al. (2019). Adaptive Gradient Methods with Dynamic Bound of Learning Rate. In Proc. of ICLR 2019.

Quick Links

Installation

AdaBound requires Python 3.6.0 or later. We currently provide PyTorch version and AdaBound for TensorFlow is coming soon.

Installing via pip

The preferred way to install AdaBound is via pip with a virtual environment. Just run

pip install adabound

in your Python environment and you are ready to go!

Using source code

As AdaBound is a Python class with only 100+ lines, an alternative way is directly downloading adabound.py and copying it to your project.

Usage

You can use AdaBound just like any other PyTorch optimizers.

optimizer = adabound.AdaBound(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, final_lr=0.1)

As described in the paper, AdaBound is an optimizer that behaves like Adam at the beginning of training, and gradually transforms to SGD at the end. The final_lr parameter indicates AdaBound would transforms to an SGD with this learning rate. In common cases, a default final learning rate of 0.1 can achieve relatively good and stable results on unseen data. It is not very sensitive to its hyperparameters. See Appendix G of the paper for more details.

Despite of its robust performance, we still have to state that, there is no silver bullet. It does not mean that you will be free from tuning hyperparameters once using AdaBound. The performance of a model depends on so many things including the task, the model structure, the distribution of data, and etc. You still need to decide what hyperparameters to use based on your specific situation, but you may probably use much less time than before!

Demos

Thanks to the awesome work by the GitHub team and the Jupyter team, the Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) files can render directly on GitHub. We provide several notebooks (like this one) for better visualization. We hope to illustrate the robust performance of AdaBound through these examples.

For the full list of demos, please refer to this page.

    Question about the code

    IIRC, because group['lr'] will never be changed, so finalr_lr will always be the same as group['final_lr']. Is this intended? https://github.com/Luolc/AdaBound/blob/6fa826003f41a57501bde3e2baab1488410fe2da/adabound/adabound.py#L110

  • Don't work properly with higher lr

    Don't work properly with higher lr

    I'm new in deep learning and I found the project works well with SGD but turns to be sth wrong with adabound.

    When I start with lr=1e-3, it shows as below and break down: invalid argument 2: non-empty 3D or 4D (batch mode) tensor expected for input, but got: [1 x 64 x 0 x 27] at /pytorch/aten/src/THCUNN/generic/SpatialAdaptiveMaxPooling.cu:24

    But seems to work right if I set lr to 1e-4 or lower. It confused me a lot. Any ideas?

  • Can this deal with complex numbers?

    Can this deal with complex numbers?

    Hi authors,

    I intended to use this method on complex numbers and it turned out with a error message like:

    File "optimizer.py", line 701, in step step_size.div_(denom).clamp_(lower_bound, upper_bound).mul_( RuntimeError: "clamp_scalar_cpu" not implemented for 'ComplexFloat'

    I'm wondering if it's possible to improve this for complex numbers? Thanks.

  • When did the optimizer switch to SGD？

    When did the optimizer switch to SGD？

    I set the initial lr=0.0001, final_lr=0.1, but I still don't know when the optimizer will become SGD. Do I need to improve my learning rate to the final learning rate manually? thanks！

  • Learning rate changing

    Learning rate changing

    Hi， thanks a lot for sharing your excellent work.

    I wonder if I want to change learning rate with epoch increasing, how do I set parameter lr and final_lr in adamnboound ? Or is there any need changing learining rate with epoch increasing?

    Looking for your reply, thanks a lot.
