New research explores how neural networks memorize noisy data while generalizing

Researchers have explored how highly over-parameterized neural networks can simultaneously memorize noisy data and generalize effectively. Their study on arithmetic tasks with up to 80% label noise revealed that larger models generally perform better with proper optimization, and noisy labels are learned more quickly than clean ones. The findings suggest that an internal generalization structure exists within these models, which can be extracted using frequency-based methods to achieve high test accuracy. AI
