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: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:2603. 09923v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exponential moving averages (EMAs) are a central component of widely used adaptive optimizers such as Adam.

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:2607. 03519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that projected Adam for online optimization with arbitrary moment decay parameters $\beta_1,\beta_2\in[0,1)$ can have average regret bounded away from zero.
