New PAC-Bayesian framework explains adversarial training overfitting

Researchers have developed a new PAC-Bayesian analytical framework to understand the phenomenon of robust overfitting in adversarial training. By modeling adversarial training with momentum SGD as a discrete-time dynamical system, the framework provides time-resolved robust generalization bounds. This approach connects a model's robust generalization performance to factors like learning rate, local loss geometry, and mini-batch stochastic gradients, offering insights into the underlying mechanisms of robust overfitting and suggesting methods to improve generalization.
