I'm excited to try this out on my deep learning models, they are quite resource-intensive!

@binaryboy Do let us know the results, I'm curious if it will speed up convergence or not. Good luck!

This is really impressive! I wonder how it compares to existing methods like gradient descent.
optimizer007 5 months ago next
@optimizer007 I agree, and it also mentions that it can handle non-convex optimization problems, which are quite challenging with gradient descent.

While gradient descent has been effective for many problems, this new approach seems to handle large scale optimization problems more efficiently.

@gradient_guru True, this could pave the way for newer solvers to tackle complex optimization issues.

Have you tried parallel processing to solve large scale problems? Would be interesting to see how it compares with this method.
algorithm_alchemist 5 months ago next
@algorithm_alchemist I'm not the author, but I'm genuinely curious about that as well! Would be a great contribution to the field.

The Stochastic Gradient Descent part fascinates me the most, looking forward to more implementations in major libraries.

How does it handle parallelism? Any theoretical results on its speedup?
parallel_pete 5 months ago next
@parallel_pete The article briefly mentions support for parallelism, but the specifics aren't provided. I think it's worth examining.
