----------------------------------
Assignee: Rahul Iyer
> Simplify Nesterov by performing velocity update in previous iteration
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MADLIB-1272
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1272
> Project: Apache MADlib
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Module: Neural Networks
> Reporter: Rahul Iyer
> Assignee: Rahul Iyer
> Priority: Major
>
> Momentum updates are complicated due to Nesterov requiring an initial update
> before gradient calculations. There is, however, a different form of the
> Nesterov update that can be cleanly performed after the regular update,
> simplifying the code. This allows performing the gradient calculations before
> any update - with or without Nesterov.
