PolynomialDecay

class paddle.optimizer.lr. PolynomialDecay ( learning_rate, decay_steps, end_lr=0.0001, power=1.0, cycle=False, last_epoch=- 1, verbose=False ) [source]

Applies polynomial decay to the initial learning rate.

The algorithm can be described as following.

If cycle is set to True, then:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}decay\_steps & = decay\_steps * math.ceil(\frac{epoch}{decay\_steps})\\new\_learning\_rate & = (learning\_rate-end\_lr)*(1-\frac{epoch}{decay\_steps})^{power}+end\_lr\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

If cycle is set to False, then:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}epoch & = min(epoch, decay\_steps)\\new\_learning\_rate & = (learning\_rate-end\_lr)*(1-\frac{epoch}{decay\_steps})^{power}+end\_lr\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
Parameters

  • learning_rate (float) – The initial learning rate. It is a python float number.

  • decay_steps (int) – The decay step size. It determines the decay cycle. It must be a positive integer.

  • end_lr (float, optional) – The minimum final learning rate. Default: 0.0001.

  • power (float, optional) – Power of polynomial, should greater than 0.0 to get learning rate decay. Default: 1.0.

  • cycle (bool, optional) – Whether the learning rate rises again. If True, then the learning rate will rise when it decrease to end_lr . If False, the learning rate is monotone decreasing. Default: False.

  • last_epoch (int, optional) – The index of last epoch. Can be set to restart training. Default: -1, means initial learning rate.

  • verbose (bool, optional) – If True, prints a message to stdout for each update. Default: False .

Returns

PolynomialDecay instance to schedule learning rate.

get_lr ( )

get_lr

For those subclass who overload LRScheduler (Base Class), User should have a custom implementation of get_lr() .

Otherwise, an NotImplementedError exception will be thrown.

set_dict ( state_dict )

set_dict

Loads the schedulers state.

set_state_dict ( state_dict )

set_state_dict

Loads the schedulers state.

state_dict ( )

state_dict

Returns the state of the scheduler as a dict.

It is a subset of self.__dict__ .

state_keys ( )

state_keys

For those subclass who overload LRScheduler (Base Class). Acquiescently, “last_epoch, last_lr” will be saved by self.keys = ['last_epoch', 'last_lr'] .

last_epoch is the current epoch num, and last_lr is the current learning rate.

If you want to change the default behavior, you should have a custom implementation of _state_keys() to redefine self.keys .

step ( epoch=None )

step

step should be called after optimizer.step . It will update the learning rate in optimizer according to current epoch . The new learning rate will take effect on next optimizer.step .

Parameters

epoch (int, None) – specify current epoch. Default: None. Auto-increment from last_epoch=-1.

Returns

None

...                             parameters = linear.parameters())
>>> out = linear(a)
>>> out.backward()
>>> adadelta.step()
