New research details how representational priors enable generalization in machine learning

A new research paper explores the factors that contribute to effective representational priors in machine learning, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of grokking. The study found that the alignment of feature families is crucial for a prior to enable generalization, while label-free invariance can accelerate learning. Furthermore, the research indicates that applying these priors early in the training process captures most of their benefit, suggesting a critical window for their application. AI

    What Makes a Representational Prior Work? Feature Families, Label-Free Invariances, and Critical Windows in Grokking

    Companion work showed the grokking delay is causally the time to form task-structured representations, injectable via a contrastive prior. Here we characterize what makes such a prior work, across four axes, in 188 new runs. Content: a coherent, learnable prior built from the wro…
