Adam Optimizer

The Adam optimizer is a widely used adaptive learning rate algorithm for training deep neural networks, aiming to improve convergence speed and efficiency compared to traditional methods like stochastic gradient descent. Current research focuses on enhancing Adam's performance and addressing its limitations, particularly through modifications like incorporating meta-learning techniques, leveraging past gradients more effectively, and developing memory-efficient variants for training increasingly large models such as transformers and large language models. These efforts are significant because improved optimization algorithms directly impact the speed, scalability, and performance of deep learning models across diverse applications, from natural language processing to scientific computing.
