Parameters

- params (`Iterable[nn.parameter.Parameter]`) — Iterable of parameters to optimize or dictionaries defining parameter groups.
- lr (`float`, optional) — The external learning rate.
- eps (`Tuple[float, float]`, optional, defaults to `(1e-30, 0.001)`) — Regularization constants for square gradient and parameter scale respectively

- beta1 (`float`, optional) — Coefficient used for computing running averages of gradient
- weight_decay (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Weight decay (L2 penalty)
- scale_parameter (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — If True, learning rate is scaled by root mean square

AdaFactor pytorch implementation can be used as a drop in replacement for Adam original fairseq code: https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/blob/master/fairseq/optim/adafactor.py

Paper: Adafactor: Adaptive Learning Rates with Sublinear Memory Cost https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.04235 Note that this optimizer internally adjusts the learning rate depending on the `scale_parameter`, `relative_step` and `warmup_init` options. To use a manual (external) learning rate schedule you should set `scale_parameter=False` and `relative_step=False`.

This implementation handles low-precision (FP16, bfloat) values, but we have not thoroughly tested.

Recommended T5 finetuning settings (https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/t5-finetuning-tips/684/3):

- Training without LR warmup or clip_threshold is not recommended.

  - use scheduled LR warm-up to fixed LR
  - use clip_threshold=1.0 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.04235)

- Disable relative updates

- Use scale_parameter=False

- Additional optimizer operations like gradient clipping should not be used alongside Adafactor

Example:

    Adafactor(model.parameters(), scale_parameter=False, relative_step=False, warmup_init=False, lr=1e-3)

Others reported the following combination to work well:

    Adafactor(model.parameters(), scale_parameter=True, relative_step=True, warmup_init=True, lr=None)

When using `lr=None` with `Trainer` you will most likely need to use `AdafactorSchedule`

scheduler as following:

    from transformers.optimization import Adafactor, AdafactorSchedule

    optimizer = Adafactor(model.parameters(), scale_parameter=True, relative_step=True, warmup_init=True, lr=None)
    lr_scheduler = AdafactorSchedule(optimizer)
    trainer = Trainer(..., optimizers=(optimizer, lr_scheduler))

Usage:

    # replace AdamW with Adafactor
    optimizer = Adafactor(
        model.parameters(),
        lr=1e-3,
        eps=(1e-30, 1e-3),
        clip_threshold=1.0,
        decay_rate=-0.8,
        beta1=None,
        weight_decay=0.0,
        relative_step=False,
        scale_parameter=False,
        warmup_init=False,
    )

AdamWeightDecay (TensorFlow)

###
class transformers.AdamWeightDecay

< source >

( learning_rate: Union = 0.001 beta_1: float = 0.9 beta_2: float = 0.999 epsilon: float = 1e-07 amsgrad: bool = False weight_decay_rate: float = 0.0 include_in_weight_decay: Optional = None exclude_from_weight_decay: Optional = None name: str = 'AdamWeightDecay' **kwargs )

Parameters

- learning_rate (`Union[float, LearningRateSchedule]`, optional, defaults to 0.001) — The learning rate to use or a schedule.
- beta_1 (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.9) — The beta1 parameter in Adam, which is the exponential decay rate for the 1st momentum estimates.
- beta_2 (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.999) — The beta2 parameter in Adam, which is the exponential decay rate for the 2nd momentum estimates.
- epsilon (`float`, optional, defaults to 1e-07) — The epsilon parameter in Adam, which is a small constant for numerical stability.
- amsgrad (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to apply AMSGrad variant of this algorithm or not, see On the Convergence of Adam and Beyond.
- weight_decay_rate (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — The weight decay to apply.
- include_in_weight_decay (`List[str]`, optional) — List of the parameter names (or re patterns) to apply weight decay to. If none is passed, weight decay is applied to all parameters by default (unless they are in `exclude_from_weight_decay`).
- exclude_from_weight_decay (`List[str]`, optional) — List of the parameter names (or re patterns) to exclude from applying weight decay to. If a `include_in_weight_decay` is passed, the names in it will supersede this list.
- name (`str`, optional, defaults to `"AdamWeightDecay"`) — Optional name for the operations created when applying gradients.
- kwargs (`Dict[str, Any]`, optional) — Keyword arguments. Allowed to be {`clipnorm`, `clipvalue`, `lr`, `decay`}. `clipnorm` is clip gradients by norm; `clipvalue` is clip gradients by value, `decay` is included for backward compatibility to allow time inverse decay of learning rate. `lr` is included for backward compatibility, recommended to use `learning_rate` instead.

Adam enables L2 weight decay and clip_by_global_norm on gradients. Just adding the square of the weights to the loss function is not the correct way of using L2 regularization/weight decay with Adam, since that will interact with the m and v parameters in strange ways as shown in Decoupled Weight Decay Regularization.

Instead we want to decay the weights in a manner that doesn’t interact with the m/v parameters. This is equivalent to adding the square of the weights to the loss with plain (non-momentum) SGD.
