Main Abstract:
Understanding the global optimality in deep learning (DL) has been attracting more and more attention recently. Conventional DL solvers, however, have not been developed intentionally to seek for such global optimality. In this paper we propose a novel approximation algorithm, BPGrad, towards optimizing deep models globally via branch and pruning. Our BPGrad algorithm is based on the assumption of Lipschitz continuity in DL, and as a result it can adaptively determine the step size for current gradient given the history of previous updates, wherein theoretically no smaller steps can achieve the global optimality. We prove that, by repeating such branch-and-pruning procedure, we can locate the global optimality within finite iterations. Empirically an efficient solver based on BPGrad for DL is proposed as well, and it outperforms conventional DL solvers such as Adagrad, Adadelta, RMSProp, and Adam in the tasks of object recognition, detection, and segmentation.

[1]: Adaptive gradient methods have become recently very popular, in particular as they have been shown to be useful in the training of deep neural networks. In this paper we have analyzed RMSProp, originally proposed for the training of deep neural networks, in the context of online convex optimization and show @math -type regret bounds. Moreover, we propose two variants SC-Adagrad and SC-RMSProp for which we show logarithmic regret bounds for strongly convex functions. Finally, we demonstrate in the experiments that these new variants outperform other adaptive gradient techniques or stochastic gradient descent in the optimization of strongly convex functions as well as in training of deep neural networks.
Specifically, Adagrad is well suited for dealing with sparse data, as it adapts the learning rate to the parameters, performing smaller updates on frequent parameters and larger updates on infrequent parameters. However, it suffers from shrinking on the learning rate, which motivates Adadelta, RMSProp and Adam. Adadelta accumulates squared gradients to be fixed values rather than over time in Adagrad, RMSProp updates the parameters based on the rescaled gradients, and Adam does so based on the estimated mean and variance of the gradients. Very recently, Mukkamala al [1] proposed variants of RMSProp and Adagrad with logarithmic regret bounds.
