Spectral phase transitions and trainability in neural network learning dynamics

Chanju Park, Dario Bocchi, Francesco D'Amico +2

The emergence of low-dimensional structures in the spectra of neural network weight matrices is a common empirical feature of trained models, but the dynamical origin of this pheno…

Phase diagram and eigenvalue dynamics of stochastic gradient descent in multilayer neural networks

Chanju Park, Biagio Lucini, Gert Aarts

Hyperparameter tuning is one of the essential steps to guarantee the convergence of machine learning models. We argue that intuition about the optimal choice of hyperparameters for…

Random Matrix Theory for Stochastic Gradient Descent

Chanju Park, Matteo Favoni, Biagio Lucini +1

Investigating the dynamics of learning in machine learning algorithms is of paramount importance for understanding how and why an approach may be successful. The tools of physics a…

Stochastic weight matrix dynamics during learning and Dyson Brownian motion

Gert Aarts, Biagio Lucini, Chanju Park

We demonstrate that the update of weight matrices in learning algorithms can be described in the framework of Dyson Brownian motion, thereby inheriting many features of random matr…

Dyson Brownian motion and random matrix dynamics of weight matrices during learning

Gert Aarts, Ouraman Hajizadeh, Biagio Lucini +1

During training, weight matrices in machine learning architectures are updated using stochastic gradient descent or variations thereof. In this contribution we employ concepts of r…
