Blog 3: Adaptive Learning Rate Methods (Part 1)

📰 Dev.to AI

Learn about adaptive learning rate methods for machine learning and why a single learning rate is not enough, and how to implement per-parameter scaling and decay

intermediate Published 23 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement per-parameter scaling using techniques like AdaGrad or RMSProp to adapt learning rates for each parameter
  2. Use decay schedules like exponential or polynomial decay to adjust learning rates over time
  3. Compare the performance of different adaptive learning rate methods on a dataset
  4. Apply momentum to the optimizer to give it a memory across time
  5. Analyze the effect of adaptive learning rates on model convergence and stability
