Towards Theoretically Understanding Why SGD Generalizes Better Than ADAM in Deep Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Pan Zhou, Jiashi Feng, Chao Ma, Caiming Xiong, Steven Hoi, Weinan E

The result shows that (1) the escaping time of both SGD and ADAM~depends on the Radon measure of the basin positively and the heaviness of gradient noise negatively; (2) for the same basin, SGD enjoys smaller escaping time than ADAM, mainly because (a) the geometry adaptation in ADAM~via adaptively scaling each gradient coordinate well diminishes the anisotropic structure in gradient noise and results in larger Radon measure of a basin; (b) the exponential gradient average in ADAM~smooths its gradient and leads to lighter gradient noise tails than SGD.

no code implementations CVPR 2018 Chao Ma, Chunhua Shen, Anthony Dick, Qi Wu, Peng Wang, Anton Van Den Hengel, Ian Reid

In this paper, we exploit a memory-augmented neural network to predict accurate answers to visual questions, even when those answers occur rarely in the training set.

Hierarchical Convolutional Features for Visual Tracking

no code implementations ICCV 2015 Chao Ma, Jia-Bin Huang, Xiaokang Yang, Ming-Hsuan Yang

The outputs of the last convolutional layers encode the semantic information of targets and such representations are robust to significant appearance variations.

Long-Term Correlation Tracking

no code implementations CVPR 2015 Chao Ma, Xiaokang Yang, Chongyang Zhang, Ming-Hsuan Yang

In this paper, we address the problem of long-term visual tracking where the target objects undergo significant appearance variation due to deformation, abrupt motion, heavy occlusion and out-of-the-view.
