Here we show that stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and branch-and-bound maximum likelihood optimization algorithms permit ... the objective function (equation (1)) quantifies how well cryo ...

The demo program uses stochastic gradient descent with batch training and weight decay. Compared to other training algorithms, SGD works well with both large ... L2 regularization is simple ...
