Args: params (iterable): iterable of parameters to optimize or dicts defining parameter groups lr (float): learning rate momentum (float, optional): momentum factor (default: 0) weight_decay (float, optional): weight decay (L2 penalty) (default: 0) dampening (float, optional): dampening for momentum (default: 0) nesterov (bool, optional): enables Nesterov momentum (default: False) Example: >>> optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.1, momentum=0.9) >>> optimizer.zero_grad() >>> loss_fn(model(input), target).backward() >>> optimizer.step() __ http://www.cs.toronto.edu/%7Ehinton/absps/momentum.pdf .. note:: The implementation of SGD with Momentum/Nesterov subtly differs from Sutskever et. al. and implementations in some other frameworks. Considering the specific case of Momentum, the update can be written as .. math:: \begin{aligned} v_{t+1} & = \mu * v_{t} + g_{t+1}, \\ p_{t+1} & = p_{t} - \text{lr} * v_{t+1}, \end{aligned} where :math:`p`, :math:`g`, :math:`v` and :math:`\mu` denote the parameters, gradient, velocity, and momentum respectively. This is in contrast to Sutskever et. al. and other frameworks which employ an update of the form .. math:: \begin{aligned} v_{t+1} & = \mu * v_{t} + \text{lr} * g_{t+1}, \\ p_{t+1} & = p_{t} - v_{t+1}. \end{aligned} The Nesterov version is analogously modified.
