New method Joint Affine Spectral Shaping improves neural network optimization

Researchers have developed a new method called Joint Affine Spectral Shaping (JASS) that improves upon existing spectral optimizers for neural networks. Unlike previous methods that treated weight and bias updates separately, JASS applies spectral shaping to the combined affine layer matrix. Experiments on a BERT-mini model trained for IMDb sentiment analysis showed that JASS consistently improved test accuracy and reduced loss compared to weight-only spectral shaping and standard Adam optimization.

    Joint Affine Spectral Shaping: Coupling Weight and Bias Updates Beyond Weight-Only Muon

    arXiv:2608.02991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Matrix spectral optimizers reshape weight-update spectra but usually delegate vector-valued biases to a separate optimizer. We study whether this separation is neutral. We formulate each affine layer as a joint momentum matrix $A=[M…
