New research analyzes feature normalization impact on finite training budgets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper explores the impact of feature standardization on machine learning models trained with finite resources. It analyzes how standardizing rare features affects the learning process and the achievable risks, particularly when using stochastic gradient descent. The research derives optimized risks for both standardized and unscaled training under various conditions, including vanishing prevalence and finite observation budgets, and examines how noise and budget influence the choice between standardization and no scaling. AI

    Feature Normalization under Finite Training Budgets

    arXiv:2610.16845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standardizing a rare feature can help stochastic gradient descent learn its effect within a finite budget, but it also changes the noise cost of learning. We characterize the lowest rare-subgroup risks attainable by standardized and…
