PolarAdamW disentangles spectral control from gauge-equivariance in matrix optimizers, with experiments demonstrating their distinct roles on standard versus symmetry-aware neural networks.
Covariance-aware goodness and auxiliary modules let Forward-Forward training scale to 16-layer networks, achieving 73.01% on ImageNet-100 and 50.30% on Tiny-ImageNet with roughly half the peak memory of backpropagation.
Setting β in balanced Adam to achieve a refresh count R_β ≈1000 based on effective learning horizon T_ES improves validation robustness over fixed-β baselines across 11 vision and language experiments.
