Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: A non-equilibrium phase transition with broken ergodicity leads to double descent and benign overfitting in machine learning
Abstract: The remarkable ability of modern neural networks to generalize improves with increasing network capacity, even when the number of model parameters or effective degrees of freedom exceeds the number of training data points. This phenomenon is all the more surprising given that generalization error diverges when the number of model parameters approaches a critical value […]
