//! # AdaFisher: Adaptive Second Order Optimization via Fisher Information
//!
//! This module implements AdaFisher, a cutting-edge optimization algorithm from ICLR 2025
//! that leverages a block-diagonal approximation to the Fisher information matrix for
//! adaptive gradient preconditioning.
//!
//! ## Algorithm Overview
//!
//! AdaFisher combines the benefits of second-order optimization with the computational
//! efficiency of first-order methods by using Fisher information to adaptively precondition
//! gradients. The key innovation is the use of block-diagonal approximations to make
//! Fisher information computation tractable for large neural networks.
//!
//! ## Key Features
//!
//! - **Adaptive Second-Order Information**: Uses Fisher information matrix for better
//! curvature approximation than simple diagonal preconditioning
//! - **Block-Diagonal Approximation**: Computational efficiency through structured sparsity
//! - **Superior Convergence**: Outperforms state-of-the-art optimizers in both accuracy
//! and convergence speed
//! - **Robust Hyperparameter Tuning**: Stable across different hyperparameter settings
//! - **Language Model Optimization**: Particularly effective for transformer training
//!
//! ## Mathematical Foundation
//!
//! The Fisher information matrix F is defined as:
//! ```text
//! F = E[∇log p(y|x,θ) ∇log p(y|x,θ)^T]
//! ```
//!
//! AdaFisher uses a block-diagonal approximation:
//! ```text
//! F_block ≈ diag(F₁, F₂, ..., F_k)
//! ```
//!
//! The update rule becomes:
//! ```text
//! θ_{t+1} = θ_t - α * F_block^{-1} * g_t
//! ```
//!
//! Where F_block is efficiently computed using mini-batch Fisher information estimates.
//!
//! ## Usage Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use trustformers_optim::AdaFisher;
//! use trustformers_core::traits::Optimizer;
//!
//! // Create AdaFisher with default settings
//! let mut optimizer = AdaFisher::new(
//! 1e-3, // learning_rate
//! 0.95, // fisher_decay (exponential moving average for Fisher info)
//! 1e-6, // epsilon (numerical stability)
//! 64, // block_size (for block-diagonal approximation)
//! );
//!
//! // For language model training
//! let mut optimizer = AdaFisher::for_language_models();
//!
//! // For image classification
//! let mut optimizer = AdaFisher::for_image_classification();
//! ```
