An Energy-Based Self-Adaptive Learning Rate for Stochastic Gradient Descent: Enhancing Unconstrained Optimization with VAV method

Optimizing the learning rate remains a critical challenge in machine learning, essential for achieving model stability and efficient convergence. The Vector Auxiliary Variable (VAV) algorithm introduces a novel energy-based self-adjustable learning rate optimization method designed for unconstrained optimization problems. It incorporates an auxiliary variable $r$ to facilitate efficient energy approximation without backtracking while adhering to the unconditional energy dissipation law. Notably, VAV demonstrates superior stability with larger learning rates and achieves faster convergence in the early stage of the training process. Comparative analyses demonstrate that VAV outperforms Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) across various tasks. This paper also provides rigorous proof of the energy dissipation law and establishes the convergence of the algorithm under reasonable assumptions. Additionally, $r$ acts as an empirical lower bound of the training loss in practice, offering a novel scheduling approach that further enhances algorithm performance.
