DoG is SGD's Best Friend: A Parameter-Free Dynamic Step Size Schedule [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Conference on Machine Learning, 2023
We propose a tuning-free dynamic SGD step size formula, which we call Distance over Gradients (DoG). The DoG step sizes depend on simple empirical quantities (distance from the initial point and norms of gradients) and have no ``learning rate'' parameter.

Dog after dog revisited

open access: yesZAS Papers in Linguistics, 2006
This paper presents a compositional semantic analysis of pluractional adverbial modifiers like 'dog after dog' and 'one dog after the other'. We propose a division of labour according to which much of the semantics is carried by a family of plural operators. The adverbial itself contributes a semantics that we call pseudoreciprocal.
