New PAC-Bayes Derandomization Method for Smooth Loss Functions

Researchers have developed a new method for derandomizing PAC-Bayes generalization bounds, specifically for smooth loss functions. This approach aims to create high-probability bounds for deterministic predictors by leveraging the smoothness properties of both the loss function and the predictor class. The study details the cost of transitioning from a Gibbs predictor to a deterministic predictor at the posterior mean, linking it to the generalization gap of the Jensen gap class, and proposes a practical regularizer inspired by the theoretical framework.
