サイクリック学習率（CLR）
サイクリック 学習率 is a 動的な学習率調整 technique used in training ニューラルネットワーク. Unlike traditional methods where the learning rate is set to a fixed value or decayed gradually, CLR allows the learning rate to oscillate between a minimum and maximum value over a specified number of iterations or epochs.
The core idea behind Cyclic Learning Rate is to leverage the benefits of both high and low learning rates during training. A high learning rate can help the model escape local minima or saddle points, while a low learning rate allows for fine-tuning the model parameters. By cycling through these rates, the training process can be more efficient, often leading to faster convergence and better performance.
仕組み
Cyclic Learning Rate is implemented by defining two key parameters: the minimum learning rate (LR_min) and the maximum learning rate (LR_max). The learning rate is then varied according to a triangular or sinusoidal schedule. For example, the learning rate can increase linearly from LR_min to LR_max over a specified number of iterations (called the ‘cycle length’) and then decrease back to LR_min.
このアプローチは過学習を防ぎ、より良い generalization of the model. Researchers have found that using CLR can lead to better results than using a static learning rate or even some adaptive learning rate methods.
サイクリック学習率の利点
