The properties of gradient descent depend on the properties of the objective function and the variant of gradient descent used (for example, if a line search step is used). The assumptions made affect the convergence rate, and other properties, that can be proven for gradient descent. [33]
The Barzilai-Borwein method [1] is an iterative gradient descent method for unconstrained optimization using either of two step sizes derived from the linear trend of the most recent two iterates. This method, and modifications, are globally convergent under mild conditions, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and perform competitively with conjugate gradient methods ...
In optimization, a gradient method is an algorithm to solve problems of the form with the search directions defined by the gradient of the function at the current point. Examples of gradient methods are the gradient descent and the conjugate gradient.
This makes it very hard (if not impossible) to choose a learning rate that guarantees stability of the algorithm (Haykin 2002). The Normalised least mean squares filter (NLMS) is a variant of the LMS algorithm that solves this problem by normalising with the power of the input. The NLMS algorithm can be summarised as:
In optimization, a descent direction is a vector that points towards a local minimum of an objective function :.. Computing by an iterative method, such as line search defines a descent direction at the th iterate to be any such that , <, where , denotes the inner product.
In numerical optimization, the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) algorithm is an iterative method for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. [1] Like the related Davidon–Fletcher–Powell method, BFGS determines the descent direction by preconditioning the gradient with curvature information.
The advantage of this method is that it can be optimized directly with gradient descent, as opposed to the strict KL divergence constraint of TRPO, making the implementation faster and more intuitive. After computing the clipped surrogate objective function, the agent has two probability ratios: one non-clipped and one clipped.
