学ぶ Learning Rate Scheduling Strategies

メニューを表示するにはスワイプしてください

A fixed learning rate is rarely optimal for LLM training. Too high at the start causes unstable updates; too high at the end prevents convergence to a good minimum. Learning rate scheduling adjusts the rate dynamically throughout training.

Linear Warmup

Start with a near-zero learning rate and increase it linearly to the target value over the first warmup_steps steps. This gives the model time to settle into a reasonable parameter space before large gradient updates begin.

Cosine Decay

After warmup, decay the learning rate following a cosine curve – large updates early, fine-grained adjustments later. The rate approaches zero by the end of training. This is the most widely used schedule for LLM pre-training.

warmup_steps = 100
total_steps = 5000

def cosine_with_warmup(step):
    if step < warmup_steps:
        # Linear warmup
        return step / max(1, warmup_steps)
    # Cosine decay
    progress = (step - warmup_steps) / max(1, total_steps - warmup_steps)
    return 0.5 * (1.0 + math.cos(math.pi * progress))

scheduler = LambdaLR(optimizer, lr_lambda=cosine_with_warmup)

# Simulating a training loop
for step in range(total_steps):
    optimizer.zero_grad()

    # Forward and backward pass would go here
    loss = model(torch.randn(4, 10)).sum()
    loss.backward()

    optimizer.step()
    scheduler.step()

    if step % 1000 == 0:
        current_lr = scheduler.get_last_lr()[0]
        print(f"Step {step:05d} – lr: {current_lr:.6f}")

すべて明確でしたか？
