  • QUOTE: An implementation of various learning algorithms based on Gradient Descent for dealing with regression tasks. The variants of gradient descent algorithm are: Mini-Batch Gradient Descent (MBGD), which is an optimization to use training data partially to reduce the computation load. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), which is an optimization to use a random data in learning to reduce the computation load drastically. Stochastic Average Gradient (SAG), which is a SGD-based algorithm to minimize stochastic step to average. Momentum Gradient Descent (MGD), which is an optimization to speed-up gradient descent learning. Accelerated Gradient Descent (AGD), which is an optimization to accelerate gradient descent learning. Adagrad, which is a gradient-descent-based algorithm that accumulate previous cost to do adaptive learning. Adadelta, which is a gradient-descent-based algorithm that use hessian approximation to do adaptive learning. RMSprop, which is a gradient-descent-based algorithm that combine Adagrad and Adadelta adaptive learning ability. Adam, which is a gradient-descent-based algorithm that mean and variance moment to do adaptive learning. Stochastic Variance Reduce Gradient (SVRG), which is an optimization SGD-based algorithm to accelerates the process toward converging by reducing the gradient. Semi Stochastic Gradient Descent (SSGD),which is a SGD-based algorithm that combine GD and SGD to accelerates the process toward converging by choosing one of the gradients at a time. Stochastic Recursive Gradient Algorithm (SARAH), which is an optimization algorithm similarly SVRG to accelerates the process toward converging by accumulated stochastic information. Stochastic Recursive Gradient Algorithm+ (SARAHPlus), which is a SARAH practical variant algorithm to accelerates the process toward converging provides a possibility of earlier termination.
