#include <itkAdaptiveStochasticGradientDescentOptimizer.h>

Detailed Description

This class implements a gradient descent optimizer with adaptive gain.

If $C(x)$ is a costfunction that has to be minimised, the following iterative algorithm is used to find the optimal parameters $x$ :

$x(k+1) = x(k) - a(t_k) dC/dx$

The gain $a(t_k)$ at each iteration $k$ is defined by:

$a(t_k) = a / (A + t_k + 1)^\alpha$

.

And the time $t_k$ is updated according to:

$t_{k+1} = [ t_k + sigmoid( -g_k^T g_{k-1} ) ]^+$

where $g_k$ equals $dC/dx$ at iteration $k$ . For $t_0$ the InitialTime is used, which is defined in the the superclass (StandardGradientDescentOptimizer). Whereas in the superclass this parameter is superfluous, in this class it makes sense.

This method is described in the following references:

It is very suitable to be used in combination with a stochastic estimate of the gradient $dC/dx$ . For example, in image registration problems it is often advantageous to compute the metric derivative ( $dC/dx$ ) on a new set of randomly selected image samples in each iteration. You may set the parameter NewSamplesEveryIteration to "true" to achieve this effect. For more information on this strategy, you may have a look at:
