Weight Decay tuning
Our standard recipe uses L2 regularization to reduce overfitting. The Weight Decay parameter controls the degree of the regularization (the larger the stronger) and is applied universally to all learned parameters of the model by default. In this recipe, we apply two optimizations to the standard approach. First we perform grid search to tune the parameter of weight decay and second we disable weight decay for the parameters of the normalization layers. 
Below you can find the optimal configuration of weight decay for our recipe:
weight_decay=2e-05, 
norm_weight_decay=0.0,

The above update improves our accuracy by a further 0.526 points, providing additional experimental evidence for a known fact that tuning weight decay has significant effects on the performance of the model. Our approach for separating the Normalization parameters from the rest was inspired by ClassyVision’s approach.
