class SparseAdam(Optimizer):
    r"""Implements lazy version of Adam algorithm suitable for sparse tensors.

    In this variant, only moments that show up in the gradient get updated, and
    only those portions of the gradient get applied to the parameters.

    Arguments:
        params (iterable): iterable of parameters to optimize or dicts defining
            parameter groups
        lr (float, optional): learning rate (default: 1e-3)
        betas (Tuple[float, float], optional): coefficients used for computing
            running averages of gradient and its square (default: (0.9, 0.999))
        eps (float, optional): term added to the denominator to improve
            numerical stability (default: 1e-8)
