众所周知，完整训练一次大型LLM的成本是昂贵的，这就决定了我们不可能直接在大型LLM上反复测试超参数。一个很自然的想法是希望可以在同结构的小模型上仔细搜索超参数，找到最优组合后直接迁移到大模型上...| spaces.ac.cn
Hyperparameter (HP) tuning in deep learning is an expensive process, prohibitively so for neural networks (NNs) with billions of parameters. We show that, in the recently discovered Maximal Update Parametrization (muP), many optimal HPs remain stable even as model size changes. This leads to a new HP tuning paradigm we call muTransfer: parametrize the target model in muP, tune the HP indirectly on a smaller model, and zero-shot transfer them to the full-sized model, i.e., without directly tun...| papers.cool
Recently, the Muon optimizer based on matrix orthogonalization has demonstrated strong results in training small-scale language models, but the scalability to larger models has not been proven. We identify two crucial techniques for scaling up Muon: (1) adding weight decay and (2) carefully adjusting the per-parameter update scale. These techniques allow Muon to work out-of-the-box on large-scale training without the need of hyper-parameter tuning. Scaling law experiments indicate that Muon a...| papers.cool
随着LLM时代的到来，学术界对于优化器的研究热情似乎有所减退。这主要是因为目前主流的AdamW已经能够满足大多数需求，而如果对优化器“大动干戈”，那么需要巨大的验证成本。因此，当前优化器的变化，...| spaces.ac.cn
事实上，除了写博客内容，在这几年里，笔者是花了相当一部分时间来做科学空间的“表面功夫”，为此还专门学了一点php、css和js。虽然不敢说精益求精，但总体来说网站的浏览体验应该比前几年要好得多。...| spaces.ac.cn
