viz_torch_optim/readme.md

This project generates animations of pytorch optimizers solving toy problems. Examples Below.

Some nice animations were posted a few years ago by Alex Radford but didn't include the Adam optimizer or landscapes with noise. Louis Tiao blogged about how to make the visualizations. The pytorch unit tests show how to run the optimizers on test functions. I pulled these together and shared the result at https://github.com/wassname/viz_torch_optim. Please make some better animations and share them.

Examples

Usage:

• git clone https://github.com/wassname/viz_torch_optim
• jupyter notebook
• open main.ipynb
• install any missing dependencies with pip
