New method uses random labels to study memorization in deep neural networks

Researchers have developed a novel method using random label prediction heads (RLP-heads) to empirically study memorization in deep neural networks. These RLP-heads, attached at various network depths, predict random labels from intermediate representations, offering a direct measure of sample-level memorization and model capacity by estimating Rademacher complexity. The study also introduces a new regularization technique based on RLP-head output to reduce memorization, finding that this reduction can impact generalization in dataset- and setup-dependent ways, challenging the direct equivalence of overfitting and memorization.
