We create some dummy data, calculate a loss, and backpropagate to calculate gradients for the parameters <code>W</code> and <code>b</code>.</p><pre><code class="language-julia">using Flux.Tracker
W = param(rand(2, 5))
b = param(rand(2))
predict(x) = W*x .+ b
loss(x, y) = sum((predict(x) .- y).^2)
x, y = rand(5), rand(2) # Dummy data
l = loss(x, y) # ~ 3
params = Params([W, b])
grads = Tracker.gradient(() -&gt; loss(x, y), params)</code></pre><p>We want to update each parameter, using the gradient, in order to improve (reduce) the loss. Here&#39;s one way to do that:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">using Flux.Tracker: grad, update!
function sgd()
η = 0.1 # Learning Rate
for p in (W, b)
update!(p, -η * grads[p])
end
end</code></pre><p>If we call <code>sgd</code>, the parameters <code>W</code> and <code>b</code> will change and our loss should go down.</p><p>There are two pieces here: one is that we need a list of trainable parameters for the model (<code>[W, b]</code> in this case), and the other is the update step. In this case the update is simply gradient descent (<code>x .-= η .* Δ</code>), but we might choose to do something more advanced, like adding momentum.</p><p>In this case, getting the variables is trivial, but you can imagine it&#39;d be more of a pain with some complex stack of layers.</p><pre><code class="language-julia">m = Chain(
Dense(10, 5, σ),
Dense(5, 2), softmax)</code></pre><p>Instead of having to write <code>[m[1].W, m[1].b, ...]</code>, Flux provides a params function <code>params(m)</code> that returns a list of all parameters in the model for you.</p><p>For the update step, there&#39;s nothing whatsoever wrong with writing the loop above it&#39;ll work just fine but Flux provides various <em>optimisers</em> that make it more convenient.</p><pre><code class="language-julia">opt = SGD([W, b], 0.1) # Gradient descent with learning rate 0.1
opt() # Carry out the update, modifying `W` and `b`.</code></pre><p>An optimiser takes a parameter list and returns a function that does the same thing as <code>update</code> above. We can pass either <code>opt</code> or <code>update</code> to our <a href="training.html">training loop</a>, which will then run the optimiser after every mini-batch of data.</p><h2><a class="nav-anchor" id="Optimiser-Reference-1" href="#Optimiser-Reference-1">Optimiser Reference</a></h2><p>All optimisers return a function that, when called, will update the parameters passed to it.</p><section class="docstring"><div class="docstring-header"><a class="docstring-binding" id="Flux.Optimise.SGD" href="#Flux.Optimise.SGD"><code>Flux.Optimise.SGD</code></a><span class="docstring-category">Function</span>.</div><div><div><pre><code class="language-none">SGD(params, η = 0.1; decay = 0)</code></pre><p>Classic gradient descent optimiser with learning rate <code>η</code>.
