AdaHessian 🚀

Unofficial implementation of the AdaHessian optimizer. Created as a drop-in replacement for any PyTorch optimizer – you only need to set create_graph=True in the backward() call and everything else should work 🥳

Our version supports multiple param_groups, distributed training, delayed Hessian updates and more precise approximation of the Hessian trace.

Usage

from ada_hessian import AdaHessian
...
model = YourModel()
optimizer = AdaHessian(model.parameters())
...
for input, output in data:
  optimizer.zero_grad()
  loss = loss_function(output, model(input))
  loss.backward(create_graph=True)  # this is the important line! 🧐
  optimizer.step()
...

Documentation

AdaHessian.__init__

Argument Description
params (iterable) iterable of parameters to optimize or dicts defining parameter groups
lr (float, optional) learning rate (default: 0.1)
betas((float, float), optional) coefficients used for computing running averages of gradient and the squared hessian trace (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: 0.0)
hessian_power (float, optional) exponent of the hessian trace (default: 1.0)
update_each (int, optional) compute the hessian trace approximation only after this number of steps (to save time) (default: 1)
n_samples (int, optional) how many times to sample z for the approximation of the hessian trace (default: 1)
average_conv_kernel (bool, optional) average out the hessian traces of convolutional kernels as in the original paper (default: false)

AdaHessian.step

Performs a single optimization step.

Argument Description
closure (callable, optional) a closure that reevaluates the model and returns the loss (default: None)
