Parameters
----------
params : ParameterDict
The set of parameters to optimize.
optimizer : str or Optimizer
The optimizer to use. See
`help `_
on Optimizer for a list of available optimizers.
optimizer_params : dict
Key-word arguments to be passed to optimizer constructor. For example,
`{'learning_rate': 0.1}`. All optimizers accept learning_rate, wd (weight decay),
clip_gradient, and lr_scheduler. See each optimizer's
constructor for a list of additional supported arguments.
kvstore : str or KVStore
kvstore type for multi-gpu and distributed training. See help on
:any:`mxnet.kvstore.create` for more information.
