Abstract

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown very appealing performance for many computer vision applications. The training of CNNs is generally performed using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based optimization techniques. The adaptive momentum-based SGD optimizers are the recent trends. However, the existing optimizers are not able to maintain a zero mean in the first-order moment and struggle with optimization. In this paper, we propose a moment centralization-based SGD optimizer for CNNs. Specifically, we impose the zero mean constraints on the first-order moment explicitly. The proposed moment centralization is generic in nature and can be integrated with any of the existing adaptive momentum-based optimizers. The proposed idea is tested with three state-of-the-art optimization techniques, including Adam, Radam, and Adabelief on benchmark CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and TinyImageNet datasets for image classification. The performance of the existing optimizers is generally improved when integrated with the proposed moment centralization. Further, The results of the proposed moment centralization are also better than the existing gradient centralization. The analytical analysis using the toy example shows that the proposed method leads to a shorter and smoother optimization trajectory.
