Random Matrix Theory detects overfitting in neural networks and LLMs

Researchers have developed a novel method using Random Matrix Theory to detect overfitting in neural networks, particularly during the "anti-grokking" phase of long-horizon training. This technique identifies "Correlation Traps" within model layers by analyzing deviations from the Marchenko-Pastur distribution in randomized weight matrices. The study found that these traps increase as test accuracy declines while training accuracy remains high, and importantly, some large-scale LLMs exhibit similar traps, suggesting potential harmful overfitting.
