Implicit Bias of the Step Size in Linear Diagonal Neural Networks

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Kavya Ravichandran, Nathan Srebro, Daniel Soudry

ICML 2022spotlight

Focusing on diagonal linear networks as a model for understanding the implicit bias in underdetermined models, we show how the gradient descent step size can have a large qualitative effect on the implicit bias, and thus on generalization ability. In particular, we show how using large step size for…
