Researchers Analyze Stochastic Gradient Descent with Discontinuities

Researchers have analyzed stochastic gradient descent (SGD) when applied to loss functions that exhibit discontinuity across lower-dimensional manifolds. The study focuses on the differential equation limit of SGD to understand its behavior in these complex scenarios. This work is presented on arXiv within the Statistics > Machine Learning category.
