Incorporating the Barzilai-Borwein Adaptive Step Size into Sugradient Methods for Deep Network Training
In this paper, we incorporate the Barzilai-Borwein step size into gradient descent methods used to train deep networks. This allows us to adapt the learning rate using a two-point approximation to the secant equation which quasi-Newton methods are based upon. Moreover, the adaptive learning rate method presented here is quite general in nature and can be applied to widely used gradient descent approaches such as Adagrad and RMSprop. We evaluate our method using standard example network architectures on widely available datasets and compare against alternatives elsewhere in the literature. In our experiments, our adaptive learning rate shows a smoother and faster convergence than that exhibited by the alternatives, with better or comparable performance.
