Adaptive Influence Graphs for Failure Attribution in Multi-Agent Systems

Yarden Bakish, Amir Dudai, Roy Ganz +4

Multi-agent LLM systems are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, where failures can be costly and difficult to localize. Despite growing efforts to automate failure at…

The Handoff Tax: Continuing Non-Native Trajectories in LLM Agents

Roy Ganz, Mor Shpigel Nacson, Adi Kalyanpur +1

Coding agents perform long-running tasks spanning dozens of model calls, tool uses, and code edits. As these runs unfold, users face a practical cost-quality trade-off: escalating…

DocVLM: Make Your VLM an Efficient Reader

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Aviad Aberdam, Roy Ganz +5

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel in diverse visual tasks but face challenges in document understanding, which requires fine-grained text processing. While typical visual tasks p…

How Uniform Random Weights Induce Non-uniform Bias: Typical Interpolating Neural Networks Generalize with Narrow Teachers

Gon Buzaglo, Itamar Harel, Mor Shpigel Nacson +3

Background. A main theoretical puzzle is why over-parameterized Neural Networks (NNs) generalize well when trained to zero loss (i.e., so they interpolate the data). Usually, the N…

The Implicit Bias of Minima Stability in Multivariate Shallow ReLU Networks

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Rotem Mulayoff, Greg Ongie +2

We study the type of solutions to which stochastic gradient descent converges when used to train a single hidden-layer multivariate ReLU network with the quadratic loss. Our result…

Gradient Descent Monotonically Decreases the Sharpness of Gradient Flow Solutions in Scalar Networks and Beyond

Itai Kreisler, Mor Shpigel Nacson, Daniel Soudry +1

Recent research shows that when Gradient Descent (GD) is applied to neural networks, the loss almost never decreases monotonically. Instead, the loss oscillates as gradient descent…

On the Implicit Bias of Initialization Shape: Beyond Infinitesimal Mirror Descent

Shahar Azulay, Edward Moroshko, Mor Shpigel Nacson +4

Recent work has highlighted the role of initialization scale in determining the structure of the solutions that gradient methods converge to. In particular, it was shown that large…

At Stability's Edge: How to Adjust Hyperparameters to Preserve Minima Selection in Asynchronous Training of Neural Networks?

Niv Giladi, Mor Shpigel Nacson, Elad Hoffer +1

Background: Recent developments have made it possible to accelerate neural networks training significantly using large batch sizes and data parallelism. Training in an asynchronous…

Lexicographic and Depth-Sensitive Margins in Homogeneous and Non-Homogeneous Deep Models

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Suriya Gunasekar, Jason D. Lee +2

With an eye toward understanding complexity control in deep learning, we study how infinitesimal regularization or gradient descent optimization lead to margin maximizing solutions…

Stochastic Gradient Descent on Separable Data: Exact Convergence with a Fixed Learning Rate

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Nathan Srebro, Daniel Soudry

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a central tool in machine learning. We prove that SGD converges to zero loss, even with a fixed (non-vanishing) learning rate - in the special…

Convergence of Gradient Descent on Separable Data

Mor Shpigel Nacson, Jason D. Lee, Suriya Gunasekar +3

We provide a detailed study on the implicit bias of gradient descent when optimizing loss functions with strictly monotone tails, such as the logistic loss, over separable datasets…
