AdaPlus: Integrating Nesterov Momentum and Precise Stepsize Adjustment on AdamW Basis

This paper proposes an efficient optimizer called AdaPlus which integrates Nesterov momentum and precise stepsize adjustment on AdamW basis. AdaPlus combines the advantages of AdamW, Nadam, and AdaBelief and, in particular, does not introduce any extra hyper-parameters. We perform extensive experimental evaluations on three machine learning tasks to validate the effectiveness of AdaPlus. The experiment results validate that AdaPlus (i) among all the evaluated adaptive methods, performs most comparable with (even slightly better than) SGD with momentum on image classification tasks and (ii) outperforms other state-of-the-art optimizers on language modeling tasks and illustrates pretty high stability when training GANs. The experiment code of AdaPlus will be accessible at: https://github.com/guanleics/AdaPlus.
