Questions this item addresses:
  • What is Adam optimizer?
How to use this item?

This is a little more advanced module for the Adam optimizer shortlist. Section 3 of this article explains Adam optimizer with its two main components: RMSprop and GD with momentum this is a great article about three optimizers: Adam, momentum and SGD​, reading the other two optimizers is optional
