AdaInject: Injection Based Adaptive Gradient Descent Optimizers for Convolutional Neural Networks
Shiv Ram Dubey, S. H. Shabbeer Basha, Satish Kumar Singh, Bidyut Baran Chaudhuri
The convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are generally trained using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based optimization techniques. The existing SGD optimizers generally suffer with the overshooting of the minimum and oscillation near minimum. In this paper, we propose a new approach, hereafter referred as AdaInject, for the gradient descent optimizers by injecting the second order moment into the first order moment. Specifically, the short-term change in parameter is used as a weight to inject the second order moment in the update rule. The AdaInject optimizer controls the parameter update, avoids the overshooting of the minimum and reduces the oscillation near minimum. The proposed approach is generic in nature and can be integrated with any existing SGD optimizer. The effectiveness of the AdaInject optimizer is explained intuitively as well as through some toy examples. We also show the convergence property of the proposed injection based optimizer. Further, we depict the efficacy of the AdaInject approach through extensive experiments in conjunction with the state-of-the-art optimizers, namely AdamInject, diffGradInject, RadamInject, and AdaBeliefInject on four benchmark datasets. Different CNN models are used in the experiments. A highest improvement in the top-1 classification error rate of 16.54% is observed using diffGradInject optimizer with ResNeXt29 model over the CIFAR10 dataset. Overall, we observe very promising performance improvement of existing optimizers with the proposed AdaInject approach. The code is available at: \url{https://github.com/shivram1987/AdaInject}.
