Improving Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Neural Networks
Omead Pooladzandi, Yiming Zhou
We explore the usage of the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for regression (non-linear least squares) and classification (generalized Gauss-Newton methods) tasks in neural networks. We compare the performance of the LM method with other popular first-order algorithms such as SGD and Adam, as well as other second-order algorithms such as L-BFGS , Hessian-Free and KFAC. We further speed up the LM method by using adaptive momentum, learning rate line search, and uphill step acceptance.
