//! # Adam (Adaptive Moment Estimation) optimizer
//!
//! The `Adam (Adaptive Moment Estimation)` optimizer is an adaptive learning rate algorithm used
//! in gradient descent and machine learning, such as for training neural networks to solve deep
//! learning problems. Boasting memory-efficient fast convergence rates, it sets and iteratively
//! updates learning rates individually for each model parameter based on the gradient history.
//!
//! ## Algorithm:
//!
//! Given:
//!   - α is the learning rate
//!   - (β_1, β_2) are the exponential decay rates for moment estimates
//!   - ϵ is any small value to prevent division by zero
//!   - g_t are the gradients at time step t
//!   - m_t are the biased first moment estimates of the gradient at time step t
//!   - v_t are the biased second raw moment estimates of the gradient at time step t
//!   - θ_t are the model parameters at time step t
//!   - t is the time step
//!
//! Required:
//!   θ_0
//!
//! Initialize:
//!   m_0 <- 0
//!   v_0 <- 0
//!   t <- 0
//!
//! while θ_t not converged do
//!   m_t = β_1 * m_{t−1} + (1 − β_1) * g_t
//!   v_t = β_2 * v_{t−1} + (1 − β_2) * g_t^2
//!   m_hat_t = m_t / 1 - β_1^t
//!   v_hat_t = v_t / 1 - β_2^t
//!   θ_t = θ_{t-1} − α * m_hat_t / (sqrt(v_hat_t) + ϵ)
//!
