New framework predicts hyperparameter transfer laws for neural networks

Researchers have developed a new framework called Hyperparameter Transfer Laws to better understand and predict how hyperparameters should be adjusted when scaling neural network architectures. This framework introduces the concept of 'effective depth' to unify various multi-path networks like CNNs, ResNets, and Transformers. Experiments show that optimal learning rates decay with effective depth following a universal -3/2 power law, enabling reliable zero-shot transfer of learning rates across different depths and widths. AI

IMPACT This research could significantly reduce the computational cost of training deep learning models by enabling more effective hyperparameter transfer.

    Hyperparameter Transfer Laws for Non-Recurrent Multi-Path Neural Networks

    arXiv:2602.07494v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deeper modern architectures are costly to train, making hyperparameter transfer preferable to expensive repeated tuning. Maximal Update Parametrization ($\mu$P) helps explain why many hyperparameters transfer across width. Yet d…
