Layer-wise Adaptive Rate Scaling, or LARS, is a large batch optimization technique. There are two notable differences between LARS and other adaptive algorithms such as Adam or RMSProp: first, LARS uses a separate learning rate for each layer and not for each weight. And second, the magnitude of the update is controlled with respect to the weight norm for better control of training speed.

mₜ = β₁mₜ₋₁ + (1-β₁)(gₜ + λxₜ) xₜ₊₁⁽ⁱ⁾ = xₜ⁽ⁱ⁾ - ηₜ(ϕ(|| xₜ⁽ⁱ⁾ ||))/(|| mₜ⁽ⁱ⁾ ||)mₜ⁽ⁱ⁾

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (77 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
