Popular deep learning frameworks prioritize computing the average mini-batch gradient. Yet, other quantities such as its variance or many approximations to the Hessian can be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient mean. They are of great interest to researchers and practitioners, but implementing them is often burdensome or inefficient.

While it has long been recognized that a team of individual learning agents can be greater than the sum of its parts, recent work has shown that larger teams are not necessarily more effective than smaller ones.
