+    Parameters:

+            Iterable of parameters to optimize or dictionaries defining parameter groups.
+        lr (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.003):
+            The learning rate to use.
+        betas (`Tuple[float,float]`, *optional*, defaults to `(0.95, 0.95)`):
+            Adam's betas parameters (b1, b2).
+        shampoo_beta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to -1):
+            If >= 0, use this beta for the preconditioner (L and R in paper, state["GG"] below) moving average instead of betas[1].
+        eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-08):
+            Adam's epsilon for numerical stability.
+        weight_decay (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.01): weight decay coefficient.
+        precondition_frequency (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 10):
+            How often to update the preconditioner.
+        max_precond_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 10000):
+            Maximum dimension of the preconditioner.
+            Set to 10000, so that we exclude most common vocab sizes while including layers.
+        merge_dims (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether or not to merge dimensions of the preconditioner.
+        precondition_1d (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether or not to precondition 1D gradients.
+        normalize_grads (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether or not to normalize gradients per layer.
+            Helps at large precondition_frequency (~100 in our experiments),
+            but hurts performance at small precondition_frequency (~10 in our experiments).
+        data_format (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `channels_first`):
+            Data format of the input for convolutional layers.
+            Should be "channels_last" for data_format of NHWC and "channels_first" for NCHW.
+        correct_bias (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
+            Whether or not to use bias correction in Adam.
