EMASAM offers efficient, stable alternative to SAM for model generalization

Researchers have introduced EMASAM, a new optimization technique designed to improve model generalization while reducing computational cost. Unlike traditional Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), EMASAM bypasses the need for an extra gradient computation during its perturbation step. It achieves this by using the discrepancy between a main model and its exponential moving average (EMA) shadow model to guide perturbations, offering a more stable and efficient alternative. AI

IMPACT EMASAM could reduce training costs and improve the generalization capabilities of machine learning models.

    EMASAM: a Computationally Efficient Sharpness-Aware Minimization via EMA-Guided Perturbations

    arXiv:2608.15105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress in optimization research has highlighted the sharpness of the loss landscape as a key factor in narrowing the generalization gap. Motivated by this insight, Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) was proposed as a traini…
