-Adam optimizer, proposed by Kingma and Lei Ba in [Adam: A Method For Stochastic Optimization](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.6980v4.pdf). Default parameters are those suggested in the paper. The parameter "lambda" from the paper has been renamed kappa, for syntactic reasons.

 __Arguments__:
 
-- __lr__: float >= 0. Learning rate. 
+- __lr__: float >= 0. Learning rate.
 - __beta_1__, __beta_2__: floats, 0 < beta < 1. Generally close to 1.
 - __epsilon__: float >= 0. Fuzz factor.
-- __kappa__: float 0 < kappa < 1. Lambda parameter in the original paper.
