Two new research papers explore the intricacies of the 'Muon' optimization method, a technique used in training deep learning models. The first paper proposes using Hilbert distance to better manage the output distributions of softmax functions, unifying existing methods under a new mathematical framework. The second paper investigates how practical approximations in Muon's implementation, specifically the Newton-Schulz iterations and stabilization constants, cause it to deviate from its theoretical spectral max-margin behavior towards a Frobenius max-margin direction. It also suggests that increasing Newton-Schulz iterations logarithmically can help Muon regain its spectral bias. AI
