mindspore.nn.polynomial_decay_lr

mindspore.nn.polynomial_decay_lr(learning_rate, end_learning_rate, total_step, step_per_epoch, decay_epoch, power, update_decay_epoch=False)

Calculates learning rate base on polynomial decay function. The learning rate for each step will be stored in a list.

For the i-th step, the formula of computing decayed_learning_rate[i] is:

\[decayed\_learning\_rate[i] = (learning\_rate - end\_learning\_rate) * (1 - tmp\_epoch / tmp\_decay\_epoch)^{power} + end\_learning\_rate\]

Where:

\[tmp\_epoch = min(current\_epoch, decay\_epoch)\]

\[current\_epoch=floor(\frac{i}{step\_per\_epoch})\]

\[tmp\_decay\_epoch = decay\_epoch\]

If update_decay_epoch is true, update the value of tmp_decay_epoch every epoch. The formula is:

\[tmp\_decay\_epoch = decay\_epoch * ceil(current\_epoch / decay\_epoch)\]

Parameters

• learning_rate (float) – The initial value of learning rate.

• end_learning_rate (float) – The end value of learning rate.

• total_step (int) – The total number of steps.

• step_per_epoch (int) – The number of steps in per epoch.

• decay_epoch (int) – Number of epochs to decay over.

• power (float) – The power of polynomial. It must be greater than 0.

• update_decay_epoch (bool) – If true, update decay_epoch. Default: False.

Returns

list[float]. The size of list is total_step.

Raises

• TypeError – If learning_rate or end_learning_rate or power is not a float.

• TypeError – If total_step or step_per_epoch or decay_epoch is not an int.

• TypeError – If update_decay_epoch is not a bool.

• ValueError – If learning_rate or power is not greater than 0.
