SGDW/SGDWR and AdamW/AdamWR optimizers for Keras

Keras implementations of SGDW and AdamW (SGD and Adam with decoupled weight decay), which can be used with warm restarts to obtain SGDWR and AdamWR.

Usage

from keras_optimizers import SGDW

optimizer = SGDW(lr=0.01, weight_decay=0.01)

model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
              optimizer=optimizer,
              metrics=['accuracy'])
              
model.fit(x_train, y_train)

For SGDWR/AdamWR, use the callback WRScheduler with SGDW/AdamW

from keras_optimizers import AdamW
from keras_callbacks import WRScheduler

optimizer = AdamW(lr=0.001, weight_decay=0.01)

model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
              optimizer=optimizer,
              metrics=['accuracy'])
              
cb_wr = WRScheduler(steps_per_epoch=len(x_train)/batch_size)

model.fit(x_train, y_train, callbacks=[cb_wr])

Tested on this system

• Python 3.6.8
• TensorFlow 1.12.0
• Keras 2.2.4
