I am including both Adam and close variants (e.g. AdamW).

To judge it I will look at the top 20 most cited ML papers released that year. If >= 50% of them use a novel optimization algorithm, market resolves YES.

If Adam is replaced by an existing optimization algorithm, or it remains the most common optimization algorithm, market resolves NO.

Does your criterion require that >= 50% are using the SAME novel algo?

@mcld Good question: I will say no, it does not require the same novel algorithm.
