How can I visualize the performance of different PyTorch optimizers?

You can create a comparison visualization using libraries like Matplotlib or Seaborn to plot the loss curves of different optimizers.

What optimizers should I compare?

You might want to compare Adam, SGD, RMSprop, and Adagrad as they are commonly used in various tasks.

Can you provide a code example for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import torch
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Define your model, loss function, and data here

optimizers = {'SGD': torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.01),
              'Adam': torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)}

# Train your model and record losses
losses = {name: [] for name in optimizers.keys()}

for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    for name, optimizer in optimizers.items():
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        output = model(data)
        loss = loss_fn(output, target)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
        losses[name].append(loss.item())

# Plotting
for name, loss in losses.items():
    plt.plot(loss, label=name)
plt.legend()
plt.xlabel('Epoch')
plt.ylabel('Loss')
plt.title('Optimizer Comparison')
plt.show()

What insights can I gain from the visualization?

You can analyze which optimizer converges faster, which has lower final loss, and how stable the training process is.
