AdamW is very similar to Adam. It only differs in the way how the weight decay is implemented. The way how it's implemented in Adam came from the good old vanilla SGD optimizers which isn't mathematically correct. AdamW fixes this implementation mistake.
The authors of the original AdamW paper claimed that they were able to solve the generalization issues of the Adam solver with their modification. Empirically speaking, however, it seems that the right hyperparameter settings have a bigger impact than the choice between Adam and AdamW, but AdamW generalizes a bit better.
Hello, thank you for using the code provided by CloudFactory. Please note that some code blocks might not be 100% complete and ready to be run as is. This is done intentionally as we focus on implementing only the most challenging parts that might be tough to pick up from scratch. View our code block as a LEGO block - you can’t use it as a standalone solution, but you can take it and add it to your system to complement it.
