• Abstract: One of the most important parts of Artificial Neural Networks is minimizing the loss functions which tells us how good or bad our model is. To minimize these losses we need to tune the weights and biases. Also to calculate the minimum value of a function we need gradient. And to update our weights we need gradient descent. But there are some problems with regular gradient descent ie. it is quite slow and not that accurate. This article aims to give an introduction to optimization strategies to gradient descent. In addition, we shall also discuss the architecture of these algorithms and further optimization of Neural Networks in general

• Gradient-free neural topology optimization [0.0]
  gradient-free algorithms require many more iterations to converge when compared to gradient-based algorithms. This has made them unviable for topology optimization due to the high computational cost per iteration and high dimensionality of these problems. We propose a pre-trained neural reparameterization strategy that leads to at least one order of magnitude decrease in iteration count when optimizing the designs in latent space.

  In this work, we investigate the implicit bias of gradient flow and gradient descent in two-layer fully-connected neural networks with ReLU activations. For gradient flow, we leverage recent work on the implicit bias for homogeneous neural networks to show that leakyally, gradient flow produces a neural network with rank at most two. For gradient descent, provided the random variance is small enough, we show that a single step of gradient descent suffices to drastically reduce the rank of the network, and that the rank remains small throughout training.

  Forward learning is a biologically plausible alternative to backprop for learning deep neural networks. We show that it is possible to substantially reduce the variance of the forward gradient by applying perturbations to activations rather than weights. Our approach matches backprop on MNIST and CIFAR-10 and significantly outperforms previously proposed backprop-free algorithms on ImageNet.

  gradient correction is apparently the most crucial aspect for the training of a neural network. We introduce a framework (textbfGCGD) to perform gradient correction. Experiment results show that our gradient correction framework can effectively improve the gradient quality to reduce training epochs by $sim$ 20% and also improve the network performance.

  deep equilibrium model is a class of models that foregoes traditional network depth and instead computes the output of a network by finding the fixed point of a single nonlinear layer. We show that there is a natural synergy between these two settings. We demonstrate this strategy on various tasks such as training generative models while optimizing over latent codes, training models for inverse problems like denoising and inpainting, adversarial training and gradient based meta-learning.
