arXiv:2511. 04514v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The phenomenon of linear mode connectivity (LMC) links several aspects of deep learning, including training stability under noisy stochastic gradients, the smoothness and generalization of local minima (basins), the similarity and functional diversity of sampled models, and architectural effects on data processing.
arXiv:2607. 13631v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc.
arXiv:2606. 31282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern deep neural networks often contain far more parameters than needed to fit their training data, yet they achieve impressive generalization.
The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc. Prior works have focused on empirical results or pursued a theoretical treatment under overly simplified settings.
arXiv:2606. 16050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust deep learning under heavy-tailed and impulsive noise remains challenging because conventional losses such as mean squared error (MSE) exhibit unbounded sensitivity to outliers.
arXiv:2311. 02960v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over the past decade, deep learning has proven to be a highly effective tool for learning meaningful features from raw data.
arXiv:2601. 10962v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is central to deep learning, yet the dynamical origin of its preference for flatter, more generalizable solutions remains unclear.
arXiv:2608. 04442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robustness to natural corruptions remains a fundamental challenge for deep neural networks.
arXiv:2602. 05600v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) introduces anisotropic noise that is correlated with the local curvature of the loss landscape, thereby biasing optimization toward flat minima.
arXiv:2606. 30930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern deep learning has been shown to operate at the edge of stability, routinely using learning rates far larger than those justified by classical optimization theory.
arXiv:2507. 21449v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Degeneracy is an inherent feature of the loss landscape of neural networks, but it is not well understood how stochastic gradient MCMC (SGMCMC) algorithms interact with this degeneracy.
