Adam Optimizer vs Adagrad
Developers should learn and use Adam Optimizer when training deep neural networks, especially in scenarios involving large datasets or complex models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or transformers meets developers should learn and use adagrad when working with machine learning models, especially in deep learning applications where data is sparse or features have varying frequencies, such as natural language processing or recommendation systems. Here's our take.
Adam Optimizer
Developers should learn and use Adam Optimizer when training deep neural networks, especially in scenarios involving large datasets or complex models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or transformers
Adam Optimizer
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Adam Optimizer when training deep neural networks, especially in scenarios involving large datasets or complex models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or transformers
Pros
- +It is particularly effective for non-stationary objectives and problems with noisy or sparse gradients, such as natural language processing or computer vision tasks, as it automatically adjusts learning rates and converges faster than many other optimizers
- +Related to: stochastic-gradient-descent, deep-learning
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Adagrad
Developers should learn and use Adagrad when working with machine learning models, especially in deep learning applications where data is sparse or features have varying frequencies, such as natural language processing or recommendation systems
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for handling non-stationary distributions and can improve convergence by reducing the need for manual tuning of learning rates, though it may accumulate squared gradients and lead to diminishing learning rates over time
- +Related to: gradient-descent, machine-learning
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
These tools serve different purposes. Adam Optimizer is a tool while Adagrad is a concept. We picked Adam Optimizer based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.
Based on overall popularity. Adam Optimizer is more widely used, but Adagrad excels in its own space.
