## What are updaters?
|
|
|
|
The main difference among the updaters is how they treat the learning rate. Stochastic Gradient Descent, the most common learning algorithm in deep learning, relies on `Theta` (the weights in hidden layers) and `alpha` (the learning rate). Different updaters help optimize the learning rate until the neural network converges on its most performant state.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use the updaters, pass a new class to the `updater()` method in either a `ComputationGraph` or `MultiLayerNetwork`.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
ComputationGraphConfiguration conf = new NeuralNetConfiguration.Builder()
|
|
.updater(new Adam(0.01))
|
|
// add your layers and hyperparameters below
|
|
.build();
|
|
```
