A new research paper explores finite-step gradient descent not as a simple optimization tool, but as a discrete dynamical system. The study analyzes how the training map's behavior, including phenomena like edge-of-stability and oscillations, is influenced by the learning rate. By examining simplified models of deep learning, the research suggests that the learning rate is a fundamental structural parameter that shapes the representations selected by gradient descent, rather than just a numerical stability constant.
