Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for robust neural classifiers that addresses the challenge of non-identifiable neural parameterizations. This approach, based on the S-divergence family, ensures that empirical minimizers converge to the population-optimal equivalence class without requiring identifiability assumptions. Experiments on vision and language datasets demonstrate that this S-divergence training maintains clean-data accuracy while achieving performance comparable to existing robust methods. AI
