New research explores ReLU networks beyond linear separability

Researchers have analyzed a simplified neural network model with ReLU activation functions and logistic loss on non-linearly separable data. They identified an 'active cone' in parameter space where perfect classifiers exist, demonstrating finite-time loss bounds and convergence to a max-margin vector. The study also proposes an adaptive learning rate schedule that can grow infinitely while maintaining convergence, achieving a faster loss rate than standard methods. AI

IMPACT Provides theoretical insights into the behavior of ReLU networks with large learning rates, potentially informing future model optimization techniques.

    A Minimal ReLU Classifier on Non-Linearly Separable Data: Convergence and Implicit Bias at and beyond the Edge of Stability

    arXiv:2610.23007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gradient descent (GD) with large learning rates can successfully optimize neural networks even though classical smoothness-based learning rate conditions are violated. Yet theory for this regime largely covers linear models or linea…
