New optimization theory unifies DNN convexity and smoothness

Researchers have introduced a novel optimization framework for deep neural networks (DNNs) that generalizes classical convexity and smoothness concepts. This new framework, termed $\mathcal{H}(\psi)$-convexity and $\mathcal{H}(\Psi)$-smoothness, unifies convex and non-convex, as well as smooth and non-smooth objectives. The study also proposes generalized gradient descent and SGD methods, theoretically proving an optimal learning rate of 1 and deriving convergence rates. The research further analyzes DNN training as a composite optimization problem, linking convergence to gradient energy reduction and Jacobian norm control, and introduces factors like the gradient correlation factor and model capacity risk to characterize training dynamics.
