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.

Co-teaching: Robust Training of Deep Neural Networks with Extremely Noisy Labels

TL;DR: Co-teaching as discussed by the authors trains two deep neural networks simultaneously, and let them teach each other given every mini-batch: first, each network feeds forward all data and selects some data of possibly clean labels; secondly, two networks communicate with each other what data in this minibatch should be used for training; finally, each networks back propagates the data selected by its peer network and updates itself.
