On the Generalization of Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum

While momentum-based accelerated variants of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) are widely used when training machine learning models, there is little theoretical understanding on the generalization error of such methods. In this work, we first show that th ...

Robust Collaborative Learning with Linear Gradient Overhead

Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, John Stephan, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Le Nguyen Hoang, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

Collaborative learning algorithms, such as distributed SGD (or D-SGD), are prone to faulty machines that may deviate from their prescribed algorithm because of software or hardware bugs, poisoned data or malicious behaviors. While many solutions have been ...

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 ...
