关于优化算法：随机梯度下降法的learning rate需要逐渐变小，因为随机抽取样本引入了噪音，使得我们在最小点处的随机梯度仍然不为0。对于batch gradient descent不存在这个问题，在最小点损失函数的梯度变为0，因此batch gradient descent可以使用固定的learning rate。为了让learning rate逐渐变小，有以下几种变种算法。

Momentum algorithm accumulates an exponentially decaying moving average of past gradients and continues to move in their direction.

AdaGrad adapts the learning rates of all model parameters by scaling them inversely proportional to the square root of the sum of all their historical squared values. But the accumulation of squared gradients from the beginning of training can result in a premature and excessive decrease in the effective learning rate.

RMSProp： AdaGrad is designed to converge rapidly when applied to a convex function. When applied to a non-convex function to train a neural network, the learning trajectory may pass through many different structures and eventually arrive at a region that is a locally convex bowl. AdaGrad shrinks the learning rate according to the entire history of the squared gradient and may have made the learning rate too small before arriving at such a convex structure.
RMSProp uses an exponentially decaying average to discard history from the extreme past so that it can converge rapidly after finding a convex bowl, as if it were an instance of the AdaGrad algorithm initialized within that bowl.

Adam：The name “Adam” derives from the phrase “adaptive moments.” It is a variant on the combination of RMSProp and momentum with a few important distinctions. Adam is generally regarded as being fairly robust to the choice of hyperparameters, though the learning rate sometimes needs to be changed from the suggested default.

如果将MNIST数据集的AdamOptimizer换成GradientDescentOptimizer，测试集的准确率为0.9296.
