How do I implement the Adam optimizer in my neural network?

To implement the Adam optimizer, you need to initialize the learning rate, beta1, and beta2 parameters. Do you have a specific framework in mind?

I'm using TensorFlow. Can you provide a code snippet?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import tensorflow as tf

model.compile(optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=0.001), loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy')

This sets up the Adam optimizer with a learning rate of 0.001.

What are the advantages of using Adam over other optimizers?

Adam combines the benefits of two other extensions of stochastic gradient descent. It adapts the learning rate for each parameter, which can lead to faster convergence.

Are there any common pitfalls I should be aware of?

Yes, one common pitfall is setting the learning rate too high, which can lead to divergence. It's also important to monitor the training process.
