New PAC-Bayesian Analysis Method for Overparameterized Models

Researchers have developed a new PAC-Bayesian analysis method for overparameterized models that accounts for continuous parameter symmetries. By performing analysis on the quotient predictor space, the method removes KL contributions solely from parameterization differences. A canonical parameterization choice is made to reflect the model's implicit bias, approximating an ideal posterior-matched prior. This approach was tested in Fourier regression and query-key attention models using SGD, showing reductions in mean quotient-space KL and PAC-Bayes certificates. AI

IMPACT Introduces a more precise theoretical framework for understanding and analyzing overparameterized models, potentially leading to improved model design and training.

    PAC--Bayes Bounds on Quotient Parameter Spaces: Geometry-induced Implicit-Bias Priors

    arXiv:2607.18422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Overparameterized models often have continuous parameter symmetries, so different parameters define the same predictor. We show that PAC--Bayesian analysis should be performed on the quotient predictor space: pushing a prior and pos…
