ADOPT Algorithm: Optimal Convergence For Any Beta2 Value

ADOPT algorithm outperforms Adam in certain cases by converging at optimal rate regardless of β₂ value, addressing a key limitation of Adam.

This is a Plain English Papers summary of a research paper called New Adam Modification Unlocks Optimal Convergence for Any Beta2 Value. If you like these kinds of analysis, you should join AImodels.fyi or follow me on Twitter.

  
  
  Overview

This paper proposes a modified version of the Adam optimization algorithm called ADOPT, which can converge at the optimal rate for any value of the hyperparameter β₂.
The authors provide theoretical guarantees for the convergence of ADOPT and show that it outperforms the original Adam algorithm in certain cases.
