Reviews: Using Statistics to Automate Stochastic Optimization
–Neural Information Processing Systems
This paper studies how to test the stationarity of stochastic gradient with momentum using some advanced testing statistics that take the time correlations into accounts. Extensive experiments are run to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over existing approaches. Originality: The paper is based on extending a recent paper by Yaida. It does not seem that original to me but the authors do combine the condition by Yaida with some more advanced testing statistics in a new way. Overall I think the extension is quite natural, so the conceptual novelty is not that high.
