“Increasing batch size” also uses a learning rate of0 1 initial batch size of 128 and momentum coef?cient of 0 9 but the batch size increases by afactor of 5 at each step These schedules are identical to “Decaying learning rate” and “Increasingbatch size” in section 5 1 above
In order to improve large batch training performance for a given training computation cost it hasbeen proposed to scale the learning rate linearly with the batch size (Krizhevsky 2014; Chen et al 2016; Bottou et al 2016; Goyal et al 2017)

Increasing the global batch while keeping the same number of epochs means that you have fewer iterations to update weights The straight-forward way to compensate for a smaller number of iterations is to do larger steps by increasing the learning rate (LR) For example Krizhevsky (2014) suggests to linearly scale up LR with batch size However
Should we increase learning rate or reduce batch size?
Specifically, increasing the learning rate speeds up the learning of your model, yet risks overshooting its minimum loss. Reducing batch size means your model uses fewer samples to calculate the loss in each iteration of learning. Beyond that, these precious hyperparameters receive little attention. We tune them to minimize our training loss.
What does it mean to reduce batch size?
Reducing batch size means your model uses fewer samples to calculate the loss in each iteration of learning. Beyond that, these precious hyperparameters receive little attention. We tune them to minimize our training loss. Then use “more advanced” regularization approaches to improve our models, reducing overfitting. Is that the right approach?
Does learning rate to batch size influence the generalization capacity of DNN?
Width of Minima Reached by Stochastic Gradient Descent is Influenced by Learning Rate to Batch Size Ratio. The authors give the mathematical and empirical foundation to the idea that the ratio of learning rate to batch size influences the generalization capacity of DNN.
Do larger batch sizes converge faster?
In general: Larger batch sizes result in faster progress in training, but don't always converge as fast. Smaller batch sizes train slower, but can converge faster. It's definitely problem dependent. In general, the models improve with more epochs of training, to a point. They'll start to plateau in accuracy as they converge.
