End-to-End Learning for Stochastic Optimization: A Bayesian Perspective

Daniel Kuhn, Yves Rychener, Tobias Sutter

We develop a principled approach to end-to-end learning in stochastic optimization. First, we show that the standard end-to-end learning algorithm admits a Bayesian interpretation and trains a posterior Bayes action map. Building on the insights of this an ...

Phase diagram of Stochastic Gradient Descent in high-dimensional two-layer neural networks

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Ludovic Théo Stephan, Bruno Loureiro

Despite the non-convex optimization landscape, over-parametrized shallow networks are able to achieve global convergence under gradient descent. The picture can be radically different for narrow net-works, which tend to get stuck in badly-generalizing loca ...
