arXiv:2605. 24316v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mini-batching is central to large-scale optimization, yet its role in statistical scaling laws remains limited.
arXiv:2605. 24316v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scaling laws provide compact descriptions of how prediction error varies with compute, model size, and data, but existing theory mainly treats single-sample SGD or full data reuse, leaving the role of mini-batching unclear.
arXiv:2602. 11557v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A variety of widely used optimization methods like SignSGD and Muon can be interpreted as instances of steepest descent under different norm-induced geometries.
arXiv:2508. 03105v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We analyze the convergence behavior of stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) under dynamic learning-rate and batch-size schedules by introducing a novel and simpler Lyapunov function.
arXiv:2606. 19179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stochastic momentum methods such as heavy ball (HB), Nesterov momentum, and variants of Accelerated SGD (ASGD) [Kidambi et al.
arXiv:2607. 27731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern deep learning typically keeps the batch size static throughout training, thus overlooking the joint effect of learning rate and batch size on the training dynamics.
arXiv:2602. 02431v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: It is folklore that reusing training data more than once can improve the statistical efficiency of gradient-based learning.
arXiv:2607. 01487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a scaling law that takes into account model size and training data while explicitly splitting the latter into training steps and batch size (called three-term law).
arXiv:2510. 14717v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Increasing the batch size during training -- a ''batch ramp'' -- is a promising strategy to accelerate large language model pretraining.
arXiv:2602. 03001v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To maximize hardware utilization, modern machine learning systems typically employ large constant or manually tuned batch size schedules, relying on heuristics that are brittle and costly to tune.
arXiv:2607. 16261v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern optimizers combine gradients from the current mini-batch with historical optimization state, such as momentum or adaptive moments.
arXiv:2602. 14789v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The dynamical stability of the iterates during training plays a key role in determining the minima obtained by optimization algorithms.
arXiv:2507. 01598v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Muon, a recently proposed optimizer that leverages the inherent matrix structure of neural network parameters, has demonstrated strong empirical performance, indicating its potential as a successor to standard optimizers such as AdamW.
