How does this differ from momentum in practice? Gradient momentum already applies an exponential-decay average to the gradients. The authors discuss how their approach differs from momentum in formula, but not how it differs in practice. Essentially, momentum and Adam and all other second order optimizers already have explored this intellectual space, so I’m not sure why this paper exists unless it has some practical applications on top of the existing practice.
