View source on GitHub

Optimizer that implements the Adam algorithm.

Inherits From: OptimizerV2

See Kingma et al., 2014 (pdf).

learning_rate A float hyperparameter. The learning rate.
beta1 A float hyperparameter. The exponential decay rate for the 1st moment estimates.
beta2 A float hyperparameter. The exponential decay rate for the 2nd moment estimates.
epsilon A float hyperparameter. This epsilon is "epsilon hat" in the Kingma and Ba paper (in the formula just before Section 2.1), not the epsilon in Algorithm 1 of the paper.
use_locking If True use locks for update operations.
name Optional name for the operations created when applying gradients. Defaults to "Adam".

Methods

apply_gradients

View source

Apply gradients to variables.

This is the second part of minimize(). It returns an Operation that applies gradients.

Args
grads_and_vars List of (gradient, variable) pairs as returned by compute_gradients().
global_step Optional Variable to increment by one after the variables have been updated.
name Optional name for the returned operation. Default to the name passed to the Optimizer constructor.

Returns
An Operation that applies the specified gradients. If global_step was not None, that operation also increments global_step.

Raises
TypeError If grads_and_vars is malformed.
ValueError If none of the variables have gradients.

compute_gradients

View source

Compute gradients of loss for the variables in var_list.

This is the first part of minimize(). It returns a list of (gradient, variable) pairs where "gradient" is the gradient for "variable". Note that "gradient" can be a Tensor, an IndexedSlices, or None if there is no gradient for the given variable.

Args
loss A Tensor containing the value to minimize or a callable taking no arguments which returns the value to minimize. When eager execution is enabled it must be a callable.
var_list Optional list or tuple of tf.Variable to update to minimize loss. Defaults to the list of variables collected in the graph under the key GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES.
gate_gradients How to gate the computation of gradients. Can be GATE_NONE, GATE_OP, or GATE_GRAPH.
aggregation_method Specifies the method used to combine gradient terms. Valid values are defined in the class AggregationMethod.
grad_loss Optional. A Tensor holding the gradient computed for loss.
stop_gradients Optional. A Tensor or list of tensors not to differentiate through.
scale_loss_by_num_replicas Optional boolean. If true, scale the loss down by the number of replicas. DEPRECATED and generally no longer needed.

Returns
A list of (gradient, variable) pairs. Variable is always present, but gradient can be None.

Raises
TypeError If var_list contains anything else than Variable objects.
ValueError If some arguments are invalid.
RuntimeError If called with eager execution enabled and loss is not callable.

Eager Compatibility

When eager execution is enabled, gate_gradients, and aggregation_method are ignored.

get_name

View source

get_slot

View source

Return a slot named name created for var by the Optimizer.

Some Optimizer subclasses use additional variables. For example Momentum and Adagrad use variables to accumulate updates. This method gives access to these Variable objects if for some reason you need them.

Use get_slot_names() to get the list of slot names created by the Optimizer.

Args
var A variable passed to minimize() or apply_gradients().
name A string.

Returns
The Variable for the slot if it was created, None otherwise.

get_slot_names

View source

Return a list of the names of slots created by the Optimizer.

See get_slot().

Returns
A list of strings.

minimize

View source

Add operations to minimize loss by updating var_list.

This method simply combines calls compute_gradients() and apply_gradients(). If you want to process the gradient before applying them call compute_gradients() and apply_gradients() explicitly instead of using this function.

Args
loss A Tensor containing the value to minimize.
global_step Optional Variable to increment by one after the variables have been updated.
var_list Optional list or tuple of Variable objects to update to minimize loss. Defaults to the list of variables collected in the graph under the key GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES.
gate_gradients How to gate the computation of gradients. Can be GATE_NONE, GATE_OP, or GATE_GRAPH.
aggregation_method Specifies the method used to combine gradient terms. Valid values are defined in the class AggregationMethod.
name Optional name for the returned operation.
grad_loss Optional. A Tensor holding the gradient computed for loss.
stop_gradients Optional. A Tensor or list of tensors not to differentiate through.
scale_loss_by_num_replicas Optional boolean. If true, scale the loss down by the number of replicas. DEPRECATED and generally no longer needed.

Returns
An Operation that updates the variables in var_list. If global_step was not None, that operation also increments global_step.

Raises
ValueError If some of the variables are not Variable objects.

Eager Compatibility

When eager execution is enabled, loss should be a Python function that takes elements of var_list as arguments and computes the value to be minimized. If var_list is None, loss should take no arguments. Minimization (and gradient computation) is done with respect to the elements of var_list if not None, else with respect to any trainable variables created during the execution of the loss function. gate_gradients, aggregation_method, and grad_loss are ignored when eager execution is enabled.

variables

View source

A list of variables which encode the current state of Optimizer.

Includes slot variables and additional global variables created by the optimizer in the current default graph.

Returns
A list of variables.
