A new paper published on arXiv details the learning dynamics of multi-pass Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) in high-dimensional, non-convex multi-index models. The research develops an asymptotically exact characterization of these dynamics, revealing a continuous-time scaling limit governed by dynamical mean-field equations driven by a Poisson jump process. This framework connects various existing theories of SGD and suggests that multi-pass SGD may converge to local optima with distinct statistical properties compared to diffusion approximations or gradient flow.
