New theory grounds deep learning flatness in Riemannian geometry

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for understanding the generalization capabilities of deep learning models by grounding the concept of flatness in Riemannian geometry. This approach utilizes the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) to define a reparametrization-invariant measure of sharpness, addressing limitations of traditional Euclidean measures. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets demonstrate that this new metric, Riemannian sharpness, accurately tracks generalization performance and aligns with theoretical predictions regarding SGD's bias towards flatter minima.

    arXiv:2606.20469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A widely held intuition in deep learning is that stochastic gradient descent (SGD) implicitly favors flat minima and that flat minima generalize better, but standard Euclidean measures of flatness such as the trace or maximum eigenv…

    Fisher-Geometric Sharpness and the Implicit Bias of SGD toward Flat Minima

    A widely held intuition in deep learning is that stochastic gradient descent (SGD) implicitly favors flat minima and that flat minima generalize better, but standard Euclidean measures of flatness such as the trace or maximum eigenvalue of the loss Hessian are not invariant under…
