mindspore.nn.ProximalAdagrad

class mindspore.nn.ProximalAdagrad(params, accum=0.1, learning_rate=0.001, l1=0.0, l2=0.0, use_locking=False, loss_scale=1.0, weight_decay=0.0)[source]

Implements the ProximalAdagrad algorithm.

ProximalAdagrad is an online Learning and Stochastic Optimization. Refer to paper Efficient Learning using Forward-Backward Splitting.

\[accum_{t+1} = accum_{t} + g * g\]
\[\text{prox_v} = w_{t} - \gamma * g * \frac{1}{\sqrt{accum_{t+1}}}\]
\[w_{t+1} = \frac{sign(\text{prox_v})}{1 + \gamma * l2} * \max(\left| \text{prox_v} \right| - \gamma * l1, 0)\]

Here : where \(g\) , \(\gamma\), \(w\) , \(accum\) and \(t\) denote the grads, learning_rate, params, accumulation and current step respectively.

Note

The sparse strategy is applied while the SparseGatherV2 operator is used for forward network. If the sparse strategy wants to be executed on the host, set the target to the CPU. The sparse feature is under continuous development.

If parameters are not grouped, the weight_decay in optimizer will be applied on the network parameters without ‘beta’ or ‘gamma’ in their names. Users can group parameters to change the strategy of decaying weight. When parameters are grouped, each group can set weight_decay. If not, the weight_decay in optimizer will be applied.

Parameters

  • params (Union[list[Parameter], list[dict]]) –

    Must be list of Parameter or list of dict. When the params is a list of dict, the string “params”, “lr”, “weight_decay”, “grad_centralization” and “order_params” are the keys can be parsed.

    • params: Required. Parameters in current group. The value must be a list of Parameter.

    • lr: Optional. If “lr” in the keys, the value of corresponding learning rate will be used. If not, the learning_rate in optimizer will be used. Fixed and dynamic learning rate are supported.

    • weight_decay: Optional. If “weight_decay” in the keys, the value of corresponding weight decay will be used. If not, the weight_decay in the optimizer will be used. It should be noted that weight decay can be a constant value or a Cell. It is a Cell only when dynamic weight decay is applied. Dynamic weight decay is similar to dynamic learning rate, users need to customize a weight decay schedule only with global step as input, and during training, the optimizer calls the instance of WeightDecaySchedule to get the weight decay value of current step.

    • grad_centralization: Optional. Must be Boolean. If “grad_centralization” is in the keys, the set value will be used. If not, the grad_centralization is False by default. This configuration only works on the convolution layer.

    • order_params: Optional. When parameters are grouped, this usually is used to maintain the order of parameters that appeared in the network to improve performance. The value should be parameters whose order will be followed in optimizer. If order_params in the keys, other keys will be ignored and the element of ‘order_params’ must be in one group of params.

  • accum (float) – The starting value for accumulators accum, must be zero or positive values. Default: 0.1 .

  • learning_rate (Union[float, int, Tensor, Iterable, LearningRateSchedule]) –

    Default: 0.001 .

    • float: The fixed learning rate value. Must be equal to or greater than 0.

    • int: The fixed learning rate value. Must be equal to or greater than 0. It will be converted to float.

    • Tensor: Its value should be a scalar or a 1-D vector. For scalar, fixed learning rate will be applied. For vector, learning rate is dynamic, then the i-th step will take the i-th value as the learning rate.

    • Iterable: Learning rate is dynamic. The i-th step will take the i-th value as the learning rate.

    • LearningRateSchedule: Learning rate is dynamic. During training, the optimizer calls the instance of LearningRateSchedule with step as the input to get the learning rate of the current step.

  • l1 (float) – l1 regularization strength, must be greater than or equal to zero. Default: 0.0 .

  • l2 (float) – l2 regularization strength, must be greater than or equal to zero. Default: 0.0 .

  • use_locking (bool) – If true, use locks for updating operation. Default: False .

  • loss_scale (float) – Value for the loss scale. It must be greater than 0.0. In general, use the default value. Only when FixedLossScaleManager is used for training and the drop_overflow_update in FixedLossScaleManager is set to False , then this value needs to be the same as the loss_scale in FixedLossScaleManager. Refer to class mindspore.amp.FixedLossScaleManager for more details. Default: 1.0 .

  • weight_decay (Union[float, int, Cell]) –

    Weight decay (L2 penalty). Default: 0.0 .

    • float: The fixed weight decay value. Must be equal to or greater than 0.

    • int: The fixed weight decay value. Must be equal to or greater than 0. It will be converted to float.

    • Cell: Weight decay is dynamic. During training, the optimizer calls the instance of the Cell with step as the input to get the weight decay value of current step.

Inputs:

  • grads (tuple[Tensor]) - The gradients of params in the optimizer, the shape is the same as the params in optimizer.

Outputs:

Tensor[bool], the value is True.

Raises

  • TypeError – If learning_rate is not one of int, float, Tensor, Iterable, LearningRateSchedule.

  • TypeError – If element of parameters is neither Parameter nor dict.

  • TypeError – If accum, l1, l2 or loss_scale is not a float.

  • TypeError – If weight_decay is neither float nor int.

  • ValueError – If loss_scale is less than or equal to 0.

  • ValueError – If accum, l1, l2 or weight_decay is less than 0.
