Averager¶
Averaged stochastic gradient descent.
This is a wrapper that can be applied to any stochastic gradient descent optimiser. Note that this implementation differs than what may be found elsewhere. Essentially, the average of the weights is usually only used at the end of the optimisation, once all the data has been seen. However, in this implementation the optimiser returns the current averaged weights.
Parameters¶
-
optimizer
Type โ optim.base.Optimizer
An optimizer for which the produced weights will be averaged.
-
start
Type โ int
Default โ
0
Indicates the number of iterations to wait before starting the average. Essentially, nothing happens differently before the number of iterations reaches this value.
Attributes¶
- learning_rate
Examples¶
from river import datasets
from river import evaluate
from river import linear_model
from river import metrics
from river import optim
from river import preprocessing
dataset = datasets.Phishing()
optimizer = optim.Averager(optim.SGD(0.01), 100)
model = (
preprocessing.StandardScaler() |
linear_model.LogisticRegression(optimizer)
)
metric = metrics.F1()
evaluate.progressive_val_score(dataset, model, metric)
F1: 87.97%
Methods¶
look_ahead
Updates a weight vector before a prediction is made.
Parameters: w (dict): A dictionary of weight parameters. The weights are modified in-place. Returns: The updated weights.
Parameters
- w โ 'dict'
step
Updates a weight vector given a gradient.
Parameters
- w โ 'dict | VectorLike'
- g โ 'dict | VectorLike'
Returns
dict | VectorLike: The updated weights.
