arXiv:2608. 03386v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contemporary deep learning methods generalize well even when they fit their training data perfectly, a phenomenon known as benign interpolation.
arXiv:2608. 04049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The principle of Occam's razor, which instructs us to prefer simplicity in inductive inference, has attracted much scrutiny both in the philosophy of science and in machine learning.
A common heuristic used to explain the generalization of first-order gradient methods on non-convex neural networks is that "flat interpolators generalize well" (Hochreiter and Schmidhuber, 1994; Keskar et al. , 2017), where flatness can be measured by the trace of the Hessian of the empirical loss.

arXiv:2605. 29823v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deep networks often exhibit a preference for "simple" solutions, and such a simplicity bias is widely believed to play a key role in generalization.
arXiv:2605. 29819v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work investigates theoretically the interplay between interpolation and aggregation in regression.
arXiv:2406. 13944v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper establishes the generalization error of pooled min-$\ell_2$-norm interpolation in transfer learning, where data from diverse distributions are available.
arXiv:2505. 21423v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The remarkable generalization properties of overparameterized networks are often attributed to implicit biases, such as norm minimization at small learning rates and low sharpness in the Edge-of-Stability regime.
arXiv:2607. 01311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning has outgrown any single mathematical explanation.
arXiv:2606. 29043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sharpness and complexity are two central factors in the generalization analysis of deep neural networks.
arXiv:2606. 01521v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central problem in machine learning is that models can achieve near-perfect training performance while generalizing substantially less well to unseen examples.
arXiv:2309. 15769v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in deep learning have highlighted the phenomenon of benign overfitting in overparameterized statistical models, sparking significant interest in understanding its foundations.
arXiv:2606. 24418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data augmentation is a simple and model-agnostic approach for exploiting known invariances in learning problems.
