SOAP optimizer

SOAP

Bases: Optimizer

Implements SOAP algorithm (https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.11321).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
params `Iterable[nn.parameter.Parameter]`

Iterable of parameters to optimize or dictionaries defining parameter groups.

required
lr `float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.003

The learning rate to use.

0.003
betas `Tuple[float,float]`, *optional*, defaults to `(0.95, 0.95)`

Adam's betas parameters (b1, b2).

(0.95, 0.95)
shampoo_beta `float`, *optional*, defaults to -1

If >= 0, use this beta for the preconditioner (L and R in paper, state['GG'] below) moving average instead of betas[1].

-1
eps `float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-08

Adam's epsilon for numerical stability.

1e-08
weight_decay `float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.01

weight decay coefficient.

0.01
precondition_frequency `int`, *optional*, defaults to 10

How often to update the preconditioner.

10
max_precond_dim `int`, *optional*, defaults to 10000

Maximum dimension of the preconditioner. Set to 10000, so that we exclude most common vocab sizes while including layers.

10000
merge_dims `bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`

Whether or not to merge dimensions of the preconditioner.

False
precondition_1d `bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`

Whether or not to precondition 1D gradients.

False
normalize_grads `bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`

Whether or not to normalize gradients per layer. Helps at large precondition_frequency (~100 in our experiments), but hurts performance at small precondition_frequency (~10 in our experiments).

False
data_format `str`, *optional*, defaults to `channels_first`

Data format of the input for convolutional layers. Should be "channels_last" for data_format of NHWC and "channels_first" for NCHW.

'channels_first'
correct_bias `bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`

Whether or not to use bias correction in Adam.

True
