New theory advances scale-invariant neural network optimization

Researchers have developed new theoretical insights into optimizing neural networks, particularly concerning scale-invariant methods and heavy-tailed noise. They established a dimension-dependent lower bound for scale-invariant first-order methods, showing that certain conditions necessitate a significant number of oracle calls. To address this, they proposed a batched Scion method and a transported Scion method, achieving improved upper bounds and demonstrating practical effectiveness across various neural network architectures.

    Scale-Invariant Neural Network Optimization: Norm Geometry and Heavy-Tailed Noise

    A growing lesson from neural network optimization is that optimizer design should respect how the model is parametrized. Scale-invariant methods become important because their normalized layerwise updates can not only support hyperparameter transfer across model sizes but exploit…
