I want to use JAX as a vehicle for gradient descent; however, I have a moderately large number of parameters and would prefer to pass them as a dictionary f(func, dict) rather than f(func, x1, …xn). So instead of Something more like Is this possible? EDIT: This is my current work around solution: The gi…

In PyTorch, how do I update a neural network via the average gradient from a list of losses?
I have a toy reinforcement learning project based on the REINFORCE algorithm (here’s PyTorch’s implementation) that I would like to add batch updates to. In RL, the “target” can only be created after a “prediction” has been made, so standard batching techniques do not apply…
SGDRegressor() constantly not increasing validation performance
The model fit of my SGDRegressor wont increase or decrease its performance on the validation set (test) after around 20’000 training records. Even if I try to switch penalty, early_stopping (True/False) or alpha,eta0 to extremely high or low levels, there is no change in the behavior of the “stuck…
Why do we need to call zero_grad() in PyTorch?
Why does zero_grad() need to be called during training? Answer In PyTorch, for every mini-batch during the training phase, we typically want to explicitly set the gradients to zero before starting to do backpropragation (i.e., updating the Weights and biases) because PyTorch accumulates the gradients on subse…
