SGEM: stochastic gradient with energy and momentum
Hailiang Liu, Xuping Tian
In this paper, we propose SGEM, Stochastic Gradient with Energy and Momentum, to solve a large class of general non-convex stochastic optimization problems, based on the AEGD method that originated in the work [AEGD: Adaptive Gradient Descent with Energy. arXiv: 2010.05109]. SGEM incorporates both energy and momentum at the same time so as to inherit their dual advantages. We show that SGEM features an unconditional energy stability property, and derive energy-dependent convergence rates in the general nonconvex stochastic setting, as well as a regret bound in the online convex setting. A lower threshold for the energy variable is also provided. Our experimental results show that SGEM converges faster than AEGD and generalizes better or at least as well as SGDM in training some deep neural networks.
