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: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.
