As discussed in #6361 we weren't sure why fairseq's
polynomial_decay_schedule
power
default was1.0
, and decided to go with2.0
as the latter does something polynomial.I got the devs at fairseq to answer this question: facebookresearch/fairseq#2466 (comment)
So, perhaps we do the same or we don't.
If we don't - then the doc needs to be fixed that the default is
power=2.0
as currently it says1.0
- my mistake. If we do (this PR), then the doc is already correct.Thanks.
