For each i it constructs a preconditioning matrix G_i formed from the *other* i's, using the formula: G_i = (\lambda I + (1/(N-1)) \sum_{j \neq i} r_j r_j^T)^{-1}, where N is the number of rows in R. This can be seen as a kind of estimated Fisher matrix that has been smoothed with the identity to make it invertible. We recommend that you set \lambda using: \lambda = \alpha/(N D) trace(R^T, R) for some small \alpha such as \alpha = 0.1. However, we leave this to the caller because there are reasons relating to unbiased-ness of the resulting stochastic gradient descent, why you might want to set \lambda using "other" data, e.g. a previous minibatch. The output of this function is a matrix P, each row p_i of which is related to r_i by: p_i = G_i r_i Here, p_i is preconditioned by an estimated Fisher matrix in such a way that it's suitable to be used as an update direction. */ void PreconditionDirections(const CuMatrixBase &R, double lambda, CuMatrixBase *P); /** This wrapper for PreconditionDirections computes lambda using \lambda = \alpha/(N D) trace(R^T, R), and calls PreconditionDirections. */ void PreconditionDirectionsAlpha( const CuMatrixBase &R, double alpha, CuMatrixBase *P); /** This wrapper for PreconditionDirections computes lambda using \lambda = \alpha/(N D) trace(R^T, R), and calls PreconditionDirections.
