New research reveals implicit bias drives neural scaling laws in deep learning

Researchers have identified two new dynamical scaling laws that describe how neural network performance changes with complexity measures throughout training. These laws, observed across various architectures like CNNs and Vision Transformers on multiple datasets, recover the established scaling laws for test error at convergence. The findings are supported by analytical work on single-layer perceptrons, explaining the phenomenon through the implicit bias introduced by gradient-based training. AI
