The Convergence Behavior of Adam under Heavy-Tailed Noise
arXiv:2607. 27383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We establish the first convergence guarantees for the plain vector-form \emph{Adam} optimizer under heavy-tailed stochastic noise.
arXiv:2604. 08742v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adam is widely used, but its convergence theory remains incomplete even in the deterministic full-batch setting because momentum and adaptive preconditioning are tightly coupled.

arXiv:2505. 13196v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Velocity-Regularized Adam (VRAdam), a physics-inspired optimizer for training deep neural networks that draws on ideas from quartic terms for kinetic energy with its stabilizing effects on various system dynamics.
arXiv:2602. 10204v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce MVN-Grad (Momentum on Variance-Normalized Gradients), an Adam-style optimizer that improves stability and performance by combining two complementary ideas: variance-based normalization and momentum applied after normalization.
arXiv:2602. 00334v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Momentum Stochastic Gradient Descent (mSGD) relies on a fixed momentum coefficient shared across all parameters, failing to account for the heterogeneous structure of modern loss landscapes.
arXiv:2603. 09923v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exponential moving averages (EMAs) are a central component of widely used adaptive optimizers such as Adam.
arXiv:2606. 03917v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Moore's law reaches its limits, Ising machines offer a promising alternative computing approach for difficult optimization problems.
arXiv:2608. 16760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable optimization is central to neural network (NN) training, yet Adam, the default optimizer for modern LLMs, rests on a fragile foundation.
arXiv:2605. 29547v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning optimization relies heavily on the assumption of smooth loss landscapes, a condition systematically violated by modern architectures due to non-smooth components such as ReLU activations and quantization operators.
arXiv:2606. 28879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The adaptive moment estimation algorithm, known as Adam, is widely used in modern machine learning, owing to its low per-iteration complexity and strong empirical performance.
arXiv:2412. 19444v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Optimization algorithms such as AdaGrad and Adam have significantly advanced the training of deep models by dynamically adjusting the learning rate during the optimization process.
