<h2 id="momentum-parameter" class="anchor">Momentum parameter </h2>
<p>Notice that this equation is identical to previous one if we identify
the position of the particle, \( \mathbf{w} \), with the parameters
\( \boldsymbol{\theta} \). This allows us to identify the momentum
parameter and learning rate with the mass of the particle and the
viscous drag as:
</p>
$$
\gamma= {m \over m +\mu \Delta t }, \qquad \eta = {(\Delta t)^2 \over m +\mu \Delta t}.
$$
<p>Thus, as the name suggests, the momentum parameter is proportional to
the mass of the particle and effectively provides inertia.
Furthermore, in the large viscosity/small learning rate limit, our
memory time scales as \( (1-\gamma)^{-1} \approx m/(\mu \Delta t) \).
</p>
<p>Why is momentum useful? SGD momentum helps the gradient descent
algorithm gain speed in directions with persistent but small gradients
even in the presence of stochasticity, while suppressing oscillations
in high-curvature directions. This becomes especially important in
situations where the landscape is shallow and flat in some directions
and narrow and steep in others. It has been argued that first-order
methods (with appropriate initial conditions) can perform comparable
to more expensive second order methods, especially in the context of
complex deep learning models.
</p>
<p>These beneficial properties of momentum can sometimes become even more
pronounced by using a slight modification of the classical momentum
algorithm called Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG).
</p>
<p>In the NAG algorithm, rather than calculating the gradient at the
current parameters, \( \nabla_\theta E(\boldsymbol{\theta}_t) \), one
calculates the gradient at the expected value of the parameters given
our current momentum, \( \nabla_\theta E(\boldsymbol{\theta}_t +\gamma
\mathbf{v}_{t-1}) \). This yields the NAG update rule
</p>
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbf{v}_{t}&=\gamma \mathbf{v}_{t-1}+\eta_{t}\nabla_\theta E(\boldsymbol{\theta}_t +\gamma \mathbf{v}_{t-1}) \nonumber \\
\boldsymbol{\theta}_{t+1}&= \boldsymbol{\theta}_t -\mathbf{v}_{t}.
\tag{2}
\end{align}
$$
<p>One of the major advantages of NAG is that it allows for the use of a larger learning rate than GDM for the same choice of \( \gamma \).</p>
