Temperature is All You Need for Generalization in Langevin Dynamics and other Markov Processes
NeurIPS 2025spotlight
We analyze the generalization gap (gap between the training and test errors) when training a potentially over-parametrized model using a Markovian stochastic training algorithm, initialized from some distribution $\theta_0 \sim p_0$. We focus on Langevin dynamics with a positive temperature $\beta^{…
