Researchers have developed a new framework called Evolutionary Dynamic Loss (EDL) for pretraining classification losses. EDL learns a transferable loss function using synthetic data, avoiding the need for real samples during the main pretraining phase. The framework optimizes the loss as a lightweight network through an evolutionary strategy, incorporating chaotic mutation to enhance exploration and improve convergence. Experiments on CIFAR-10 demonstrated that EDL can effectively replace cross-entropy and achieve comparable or better accuracy. AI
