Researchers have developed a novel technique called interleaved noise injection for training neural networks, which surprisingly improves performance on clean, corrupted, and out-of-distribution data. This method alternates between injecting noise and using clean data during training, which helps optimizers escape local minima and enhances exploration without significant data loss. The approach includes a gradient-norm stabilization technique to manage rapid loss changes and has shown substantial improvements on datasets like CIFAR-100-C and ImageNet-C for ResNet and ViT architectures.
