Researchers have explored the phenomenon of "grokking," where machine learning models abruptly shift from memorization to generalization after extended training. Using Singular Learning Theory (SLT), they propose that grokking involves a transition between different solution basins, with lower local learning coefficients (LLCs) indicating basins that favor generalization. The study derives analytic formulas for LLCs in shallow quadratic networks and shows that estimated LLC trajectories can effectively track the onset of generalization during training. AI
