trustformers-optim 0.1.0

//! # Lookahead Optimizer
//!
//! This module implements the Lookahead meta-optimizer that can wrap any base optimizer
//! to improve convergence and reduce variance in the optimization process.
//!
//! ## Algorithm
//!
//! Lookahead maintains two sets of weights:
//! - Fast weights (φ): Updated by the base optimizer
//! - Slow weights (θ): Updated every k steps using interpolation
//!
//! The update rule:
//! ```text
//! φ_t = base_optimizer_update(φ_{t-1}, g_t)  // Fast weight update
//!
//! Every k steps:
//! θ_t = θ_{t-k} + α(φ_t - θ_{t-k})          // Slow weight update
//! φ_t = θ_t                                   // Reset fast weights
//! ```
//!
//! ## Benefits
//!
//! - Reduces variance in optimization trajectories
//! - Improves convergence in noisy settings
//! - Can be combined with any base optimizer
//! - Often leads to better generalization
//!
//! ## Usage Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use trustformers_optim::{Lookahead, AdamW};
//! use trustformers_core::traits::Optimizer;
//!
//! // Create base optimizer
//! let base_optimizer = AdamW::new(1e-3, (0.9, 0.999), 1e-8, 0.01);
//!
//! // Wrap with Lookahead
//! let mut lookahead = Lookahead::new(
//!     base_optimizer,
//!     5,        // Update slow weights every 5 steps
//!     0.5,      // Interpolation factor
//! );
//!
//! // Lookahead automatically handles fast/slow weight updates
//! // Use it just like any other optimizer with .zero_grad(), .update(), and .step()
//! ```
//!
//! ## Hyperparameter Guidelines
//!
//! ### k (Update Frequency)
//! - k=5 to k=10 is typical for most problems
//! - Smaller k: More frequent slow updates, more stable but slower
//! - Larger k: Less frequent updates, faster but potentially less stable
//!
//! ### α (Interpolation Factor)
//! - α=0.5 is the recommended default
//! - α=0.8 for more aggressive slow weight updates
//! - α=0.2 for more conservative updates
//!
//! ## Implementation Notes
//!
//! - Stores slow weights alongside the base optimizer
//! - Minimal memory overhead (2x parameter storage)
//! - Works with any base optimizer that implements the Optimizer trait
//! - Thread-safe for data parallel training
