New framework reveals SGD limitations for multi-index models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new framework has been developed to analyze the limitations of standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for multi-index models, which are functions dependent on low-dimensional projections of input data. This research moves beyond the traditional Statistical Queries (SQ) framework, addressing its shortcomings such as reliance on adversarial noise and the need for algorithmic modifications. The developed framework is applicable to a wide range of architectures, including potentially deep neural networks, and offers a more accurate understanding of SGD's performance limits in complex learning scenarios.

    Limitations of SGD for Multi-Index Models Beyond Statistical Queries

    arXiv:2602.05704v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding the limitations of gradient methods, and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in particular, is a central challenge in learning theory. To that end, a commonly used tool is the Statistical Queries (SQ) framework…
