This work introduces Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments, and provides a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework.
Abstract
We introduce Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments. The method is straightforward to implement, is computationally efficient, has little memory requirements, is invariant to diagonal rescaling of the gradients, and is well suited for problems that are large in terms of data and/or parameters. The method is also appropriate for non-stationary objectives and problems with very noisy and/or sparse gradients. The hyper-parameters have intuitive interpretations and typically require little tuning. Some connections to related algorithms, on which Adam was inspired, are discussed. We also analyze the theoretical convergence properties of the algorithm and provide a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework. Empirical results demonstrate that Adam works well in practice and compares favorably to other stochastic optimization methods. Finally, we discuss AdaMax, a variant of Adam based on the infinity norm.

This Looks Like That: Deep Learning for Interpretable Image Recognition

TL;DR: A deep network architecture -- prototypical part network (ProtoPNet), that reasons in a similar way to the way ornithologists, physicians, and others would explain to people on how to solve challenging image classification tasks, that provides a level of interpretability that is absent in other interpretable deep models.

Face X-Ray for More General Face Forgery Detection

TL;DR: A novel image representation called face X-ray is proposed, which only assumes the existence of a blending step and does not rely on any knowledge of the artifacts associated with a specific face manipulation technique, and can be trained without fake images generated by any of the state-of-the-art face manipulation methods.

Three scenarios for continual learning

TL;DR: Three continual learning scenarios are described based on whether at test time task identity is provided and--in case it is not--whether it must be inferred, and it is found that regularization-based approaches fail and that replaying representations of previous experiences seems required for solving this scenario.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.

TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.
