class rai_toolbox.optim.L1NormedGradientOptim(params, InnerOpt=<class 'torch.optim.sgd.SGD'>, *, param_ndim=-1, defaults=None, grad_scale=1.0, grad_bias=0.0, div_by_zero_eps=1.1754943508222875e-38, **kwargs)[source]#

A gradient-tranforming optimizer that normalizes the gradient by its \(L^1\)-norm prior to using InnerOp.step to update the corresponding parameter.

Examples

Let’s create an optimizer that normalizes all parameter gradients using their \(L^1\)-norm, and then updates the parameters with a standard SGD-step with a learning rate of 1.0.

>>> import torch as tr
>>> from rai_toolbox.optim import L1NormedGradientOptim

Creating a parameter for our optimizer to update, and our optimizer. We want the norm to be computed over the entire gradient tensor – without broadcasting – so we specify param_ndim=None.

>>> x = tr.tensor([-1.0, 1.0], requires_grad=True)
>>> optim = L1NormedGradientOptim([x], param_ndim=None, InnerOpt=tr.optim.SGD, lr=1.0)

Performing a simple calculation with x and performing backprop to create a gradient.

>>> (tr.tensor([2.0, 2.0]) * x).sum().backward()
>>> x.grad # the un-normed gradient
tensor([2., 2.])

Performing a step with our optimizer transforms the gradient in-place, and then updates the parameter using SGD([x], lr=1.0).step().

>>> optim.step()
>>> x.grad # the normalized gradient
tensor([0.5000, 0.5000])
>>> x  # the updated parameter
tensor([-1.5000,  0.5000], requires_grad=True)

Parameters:
paramsSequence[Tensor] | Iterable[Mapping[str, Any]]

Iterable of parameters or dicts defining parameter groups.

InnerOptType[Optimizer] | Partial[Optimizer], optional (default=`torch.nn.optim.SGD`)

The optimizer that updates the parameters after their gradients have been transformed.

param_ndimOptional[int]

Determines how a parameter and its gradient is temporarily reshaped prior to being passed to both _pre_step_transform_ and _post_step_transform_. By default,the transformation broadcasts over the tensor’s first dimension in a batch-like style. This can be specified per param-group

  • A positive number determines the dimensionality of the tensor that the transformation will act on.

  • A negative number indicates the ‘offset’ from the dimensionality of the tensor (see “Notes” for examples).

  • None means that the transformation will be applied directly to the tensor without any broadcasting.

See ParamTransformingOptimizer for more details and examples.

grad_scalefloat, optional (default=1.0)

Multiplies each gradient in-place after the in-place transformation is performed. This can be specified per param-group.

grad_biasfloat, optional (default=0.0)

Added to each gradient in-place after the in-place transformation is performed. This can be specified per param-group.

defaultsOptional[Dict[str, Any]]

Specifies default parameters for all parameter groups.

div_by_zero_epsfloat, optional (default=`torch.finfo(torch.float32).tiny`)

A lower bound used to clamp the normalization factor to prevent div-by-zero.

**inner_opt_kwargsAny

Named arguments used to initialize InnerOpt.
