https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1siUFXARYRpNiMeSRwgFbt7mZVjkMPhR5od09w0Z8xahttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1siUFXARYRpNiMeSRwgFbt7mZVjkMPhR5od09w0Z8xa U/edit#slide=id.g3532c09be1_0_382 Training stuck Small Gradient People believe training stuck because the parameters are around a critical point loss norm of gradient 2
Training can be difficult even without critical points. This error surface is convex. Learning rate cannot be one-size-fits-all 100,000 updates ? = 10-2 ? = 10-7 4
Different parameters needs different learning rate Formulation for one parameter: ?+? ?? ? ??? ?=?? ??? ? ?? Smaller Learning Rate ?? |?=?? ?2 ? ? ?+? ?? ? ?? ??? Larger ?? Learning Rate Parameter dependent ?1 5
