• Abstract: In this empirical article, we introduce INNAprop, an optimization algorithm that combines the INNA method with the RMSprop adaptive gradient scaling. It leverages second-order information and rescaling while keeping the memory requirements of standard DL methods as AdamW or SGD with momentum.After having recalled our geometrical motivations, we provide quite extensive experiments. On image classification (CIFAR-10, ImageNet) and language modeling (GPT-2), INNAprop consistently matches or outperforms AdamW both in training speed and accuracy, with minimal hyperparameter tuning in large-scale settings. Our code is publicly available at \url{https://github.com/innaprop/innaprop}.

  First-order optimization methods are currently the mainstream in training deep neural networks (DNNs).s like Adam incorporate limited curvature information by employing the matrix preconditioning of the gradient during the training. Despite their widespread, second-order optimization algorithms exhibit superior convergence properties compared to their first-order counterparts e.g. Adam and SGD. We present emphAdaFisher--an adaptive second-order that leverages a emphdiagonal block-Kronecker approximation of the Fisher information matrix for adaptive gradient preconditioning.

  We propose a new per-layer adaptive step-size procedure for first-order optimization methods in deep learning. The proposed approach exploits the layer-wise curvature information contained in the diagonal blocks of the Hessian in deep neural networks (DNNs) to compute adaptive step-sizes (i.e., LRs) for each layer. Numerical experiments show that SGD with momentum and AdamW combined with the proposed per-layer step-sizes are able to choose effective LR schedules.

  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.
