class mlstatpy.optim.sgd.SGDOptimizer(coef, learning_rate_init=0.1, lr_schedule='invscaling', momentum=0.9, power_t=0.5, early_th=None, min_threshold=None, max_threshold=None, l1=0.0, l2=0.0)[source][source]

Stochastic gradient descent optimizer with momentum.

Paramètres:
  • coef – array, initial coefficient

  • learning_rate_init – float The initial learning rate used. It controls the step-size in updating the weights,

  • lr_schedule{“constant”, “adaptive”, “invscaling”}, learning rate schedule for weight updates, “constant” for a constant learning rate given by learning_rate_init. “invscaling” gradually decreases the learning rate learning_rate_ at each time step t using an inverse scaling exponent of power_t. learning_rate_ = learning_rate_init / pow(t, power_t), “adaptive”, keeps the learning rate constant to learning_rate_init as long as the training keeps decreasing. Each time 2 consecutive epochs fail to decrease the training loss by tol, or fail to increase validation score by tol if “early_stopping” is on, the current learning rate is divided by 5.

  • momentum – float Value of momentum used, must be larger than or equal to 0

  • power_t – double The exponent for inverse scaling learning rate.

  • early_th – stops if the error goes below that threshold

  • min_threshold – lower bound for parameters (can be None)

  • max_threshold – upper bound for parameters (can be None)

  • l1 – L1 regularization

  • l2 – L2 regularization

The class holds the following attributes:

  • learning_rate: float, the current learning rate

  • velocity*: array, velocity that are used to update params

Stochastic Gradient Descent applied to linear regression

The following example how to optimize a simple linear regression.

<<<

import numpy
from mlstatpy.optim import SGDOptimizer


def fct_loss(c, X, y):
    return numpy.linalg.norm(X @ c - y) ** 2


def fct_grad(c, x, y, i=0):
    return x * (x @ c - y) * 0.1


coef = numpy.array([0.5, 0.6, -0.7])
X = numpy.random.randn(10, 3)
y = X @ coef

sgd = SGDOptimizer(numpy.random.randn(3))
sgd.train(X, y, fct_loss, fct_grad, max_iter=15, verbose=True)
print("optimized coefficients:", sgd.coef)
