class Optimizer(object):
    """Optimizer Base class.

    Define the common interface of an optimizer.
    User should not use this class directly,
    but need to use one of it's implementation.

    Args:
        learning_rate (float|LearningRateDecay): The learning rate used to update ``Parameter``.
            It can be a float value or a LearningRateDecay.
        parameters (list, optional): List of ``Tensor`` names to update to minimize ``loss``. \
            This parameter is required in dygraph mode. \
            The default value is None in static mode, at this time all parameters will be updated.
        weight_decay (float|WeightDecayRegularizer, optional): The strategy of regularization. \
            It canbe a float value as coeff of L2 regularization or \
            :ref:`api_fluid_regularizer_L1Decay`, :ref:`api_fluid_regularizer_L2Decay`.
            If a parameter has set regularizer using :ref:`api_fluid_ParamAttr` already, \
            the regularization setting here in optimizer will be ignored for this parameter. \
            Otherwise, the regularization setting here in optimizer will take effect. \
            Default None, meaning there is no regularization.
        grad_clip (GradientClipBase, optional): Gradient cliping strategy, it's an instance of \
            some derived class of ``GradientClipBase`` . There are three cliping strategies \
            ( :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByGlobalNorm` , :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByNorm` , \
            :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByValue` ). Default None, meaning there is no gradient clipping.
        name (str, optional): Normally there is no need for user to set this property.
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
            The default value is None.

    Returns:
       Base class for optimizer.
