It originated in this thread from a few years back, but I will give a TL;DR to catch folks up to speed Essentially before we had the two suggesters from the one-cycle paper, a global min and an estimated steepest slope (now called steep and minimum). We found that these tend to not give the best estimations for a good learning rate, and two other methods were created: the valley algorith…
