The aim of this study is to present a new type of optimization algorithm to train deep learning model. In other to achieve this, we used a convex combination method to combine the coefficients of Fletcher-Reeves (FR) and Polak-Ribiere-Polyak (PRP) on a three-term conjugate gradient method. This algorithm called Three-term PRP-FR Algorithm was implemented from scratch using python programming language alongside some existing optimizers. These optimizers were evaluated and compared based on the convergence of these optimizers using the accuracy results on the popularly known digit recognition dataset (MNIST dataset).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
