Hello, I have a question regarding the option to use synthetic gradients while running a model. 

I found in the instruction manual that activating this option may improve speed and accuracy, however it is not the default configuration when running a model.

My question is whether I should expect a difference in estimated model parameters if I choose this option instead of the default setting.

Thanks

Hi David, At this time we do not recommend it as a default since in some cases the results would not reflect fully optimized solution and generally we aren’t seeing better results with this option.

 

However this part of the algorithm is under review to see if we can improve it in a future release

 

I hope that helps, Simon
