Adaptive Update Behaviors
Adaptive optimization methods such as RMSProp, Adagrad, and Adam are designed to adjust the learning rate dynamically for each parameter during training. Unlike standard gradient descent, which uses a fixed or globally scheduled learning rate, adaptive methods use information from past gradients to modify the step size. This allows them to respond to the geometry of the loss surface, making larger updates for infrequently updated parameters and smaller updates for frequently updated ones. As a result, adaptive methods can help you converge faster and avoid problematic regions like sharp minima or plateaus.

Adaptive methods often outperform standard gradient descent when the dataset has sparse features or when gradients vary significantly across parameters. They can automatically tune learning rates, making optimization more robust to hyperparameter choices and improving convergence speed, especially in deep learning scenarios where manual tuning is challenging.
