SAGA: A Fast Incremental Gradient Algorithm
If you're looking for a way to train large-scale machine learning models quickly, SAGA might be your answer. SAGA is a method used to optimize a particular type of machine learning problem called the incremental gradient problem. This set of algorithms allows you to quickly obtain a very good approximation of the global minimum of a given model.
In fact, SAGA is quite similar to other widely used incremental gradient algorithms such as SAG, SDCA, MIS
Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) is a powerful technique in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning that helps to improve the accuracy and generalization of models.
What is Sharpness-Aware Minimization?
SAM is an optimization method that aims to minimize both the loss value and loss sharpness of a model. The traditional optimization methods only aim to reduce the loss value, which can often lead to overfitting. Overfitting is a common problem in machine learning, where a m
The Slime Mould Algorithm, commonly referred to as SMA, is a new and innovative stochastic optimizer with a unique mathematical model inspired by the oscillation mode of slime moulds in nature. This algorithm uses adaptive weights to simulate the process of producing feedback in the form of positive and negative propagation waves, which ultimately forms the optimal path for connecting food sources. SMA has excellent exploratory abilities and high exploitation propensity, making it a powerful too
SlowMo: Distributed Optimization for Faster Learning
SlowMo, short for Slow Momentum, is a distributed optimization method designed to help machines learn faster. It does this by periodically synchronizing workers and performing a momentum update using ALLREDUCE after several iterations of an initial optimization algorithm. This allows for better coordination among machines during the learning process, resulting in more accurate and faster results.

The Two-Time Scale Update Rule (TTUR) in Generative Adversarial Networks
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are powerful model architectures that have been proven successful in various tasks such as image synthesis, text-to-image transformation, and data augmentation. GANs consist of two models: the generator and the discriminator. The generator synthesizes new data instances, while the discriminator is the critic that evaluates their authenticity. The two models are trained concurrently, a
