Adam
class torch.optim.Adam(params, lr=0.001, betas=(0.9, 0.999), eps=1e-08, weight_decay=0, amsgrad=False, *, foreach=None, maximize=False, capturable=False, differentiable=False, fused=None)
[source]-
Implements Adam algorithm.
For further details regarding the algorithm we refer to Adam: A Method for Stochastic Optimization.
- Parameters
-
- params (iterable) – iterable of parameters to optimize or dicts defining parameter groups
- lr (float, Tensor, optional) – learning rate (default: 1e-3). A tensor LR is not yet supported for all our implementations. Please use a float LR if you are not also specifying fused=True or capturable=True.
- betas (Tuple[float, float], optional) – coefficients used for computing running averages of gradient and its square (default: (0.9, 0.999))
- eps (float, optional) – term added to the denominator to improve numerical stability (default: 1e-8)
- weight_decay (float, optional) – weight decay (L2 penalty) (default: 0)
- amsgrad (bool, optional) – whether to use the AMSGrad variant of this algorithm from the paper On the Convergence of Adam and Beyond (default: False)
- foreach (bool, optional) – whether foreach implementation of optimizer is used. If unspecified by the user (so foreach is None), we will try to use foreach over the for-loop implementation on CUDA, since it is usually significantly more performant. Note that the foreach implementation uses ~ sizeof(params) more peak memory than the for-loop version due to the intermediates being a tensorlist vs just one tensor. If memory is prohibitive, batch fewer parameters through the optimizer at a time or switch this flag to False (default: None)
- maximize (bool, optional) – maximize the params based on the objective, instead of minimizing (default: False)
- capturable (bool, optional) – whether this instance is safe to capture in a CUDA graph. Passing True can impair ungraphed performance, so if you don’t intend to graph capture this instance, leave it False (default: False)
- differentiable (bool, optional) – whether autograd should occur through the optimizer step in training. Otherwise, the step() function runs in a torch.no_grad() context. Setting to True can impair performance, so leave it False if you don’t intend to run autograd through this instance (default: False)
- fused (bool, optional) – whether the fused implementation (CUDA only) is used. Currently,
torch.float64
,torch.float32
,torch.float16
, andtorch.bfloat16
are supported. (default: None)
Note
The foreach and fused implementations are typically faster than the for-loop, single-tensor implementation. Thus, if the user has not specified BOTH flags (i.e., when foreach = fused = None), we will attempt defaulting to the foreach implementation when the tensors are all on CUDA. For example, if the user specifies True for fused but nothing for foreach, we will run the fused implementation. If the user specifies False for foreach but nothing for fused (or False for fused but nothing for foreach), we will run the for-loop implementation. If the user specifies True for both foreach and fused, we will prioritize fused over foreach, as it is typically faster. We attempt to use the fastest, so the hierarchy goes fused -> foreach -> for-loop. HOWEVER, since the fused implementation is relatively new, we want to give it sufficient bake-in time, so we default to foreach and NOT fused when the user has not specified either flag.

state_dict()
-
Returns the state of the optimizer as a
dict
.It contains two entries:
-
state: a Dict holding current optimization state. Its content
-
differs between optimizer classes, but some common characteristics hold. For example, state is saved per parameter, and the parameter itself is NOT saved.
state
is a Dictionary mapping parameter ids to a Dict with state corresponding to each parameter.
-
param_groups: a List containing all parameter groups where each
-
parameter group is a Dict. Each parameter group contains metadata specific to the optimizer, such as learning rate and weight decay, as well as a List of parameter IDs of the parameters in the group.
NOTE: The parameter IDs may look like indices but they are just IDs associating state with param_group. When loading from a state_dict, the optimizer will zip the param_group
params
(int IDs) and the optimizerparam_groups
(actualnn.Parameter
s) in order to match state WITHOUT additional verification.A returned state dict might look something like:
{ 'state': { 0: {'momentum_buffer': tensor(...), ...}, 1: {'momentum_buffer': tensor(...), ...}, 2: {'momentum_buffer': tensor(...), ...}, 3: {'momentum_buffer': tensor(...), ...} }, 'param_groups': [ { 'lr': 0.01, 'weight_decay': 0, ... 'params': [0] }, { 'lr': 0.001, 'weight_decay': 0.5, ... 'params': [1, 2, 3] } ] }
-
step(closure=None)
[source]-
Performs a single optimization step.
- Parameters
-
closure (Callable, optional) – A closure that reevaluates the model and returns the loss.
zero_grad(set_to_none=True)
-
Resets the gradients of all optimized
torch.Tensor
s.- Parameters
-
set_to_none (bool) – instead of setting to zero, set the grads to None. This will in general have lower memory footprint, and can modestly improve performance. However, it changes certain behaviors. For example: 1. When the user tries to access a gradient and perform manual ops on it, a None attribute or a Tensor full of 0s will behave differently. 2. If the user requests
zero_grad(set_to_none=True)
followed by a backward pass,.grad
s are guaranteed to be None for params that did not receive a gradient. 3.torch.optim
optimizers have a different behavior if the gradient is 0 or None (in one case it does the step with a gradient of 0 and in the other it skips the step altogether).
