learning_rate_schedule_piecewise_constant_decay

A LearningRateSchedule that uses a piecewise constant decay schedule

Description

A LearningRateSchedule that uses a piecewise constant decay schedule

Usage

 
learning_rate_schedule_piecewise_constant_decay( 
  boundaries, 
  values, 
  ..., 
  name = NULL 
) 

Arguments

Arguments Description
boundaries A list of Tensors or R numerics with strictly increasing entries, and with all elements having the same type as the optimizer step.
values A list of Tensors or R numerics that specifies the values for the intervals defined by boundaries. It should have one more element than boundaries, and all elements should have the same type.
… For backwards and forwards compatibility
name A string. Optional name of the operation. Defaults to ‘PiecewiseConstant’.

Details

The function returns a 1-arg callable to compute the piecewise constant when passed the current optimizer step. This can be useful for changing the learning rate value across different invocations of optimizer functions. Example: use a learning rate that’s 1.0 for the first 100001 steps, 0.5 for the next 10000 steps, and 0.1 for any additional steps. ```

step <- tf$Variable(0, trainable=FALSE)

boundaries <- as.integer(c(100000, 110000))

values <- c(1.0, 0.5, 0.1)

learning_rate_fn <- learning_rate_schedule_piecewise_constant_decay(

boundaries, values) 

Later, whenever we perform an optimization step, we pass in the step.

learning_rate <- learning_rate_fn(step)

``You can pass this schedule directly into a keras Optimizer as thelearning_rate`.
