Twin: Tuning Learning Rate and Weight Decay of Deep Homogeneous Classifiers without Validation
Researchers have developed a new method called Twin, which tunes the learning rate and weight decay for deep homogeneous classifiers without needing a validation set. This approach leverages the margin-maximization dynamics of these networks and an empirical scaling law to predict test loss. Twin has shown promising results across various image classification tasks, achieving accuracy close to an oracle baseline and proving particularly useful in low-data or costly data collection scenarios.
