Transformative or Conservative? Conservation laws for ResNets and Transformers

Sibylle Marcotte, Rémi Gribonval, Gabriel Peyré

While conservation laws in gradient flow training dynamics are well understood for (mostly shallow) ReLU and linear networks, their study remains largely unexplored for more practi…

Learning from samples: inverse problems over measures

Francisco Andrade, Gabriel Peyré, Clarice Poon

We study inverse problems where an unknown potential is observed only through samples from the measure it induces by a convex variational principle. Such problems arise in learning…

Ultra-fast feature learning for the training of two-layer neural networks in the two-timescale regime

Raphaël Barboni, Gabriel Peyré, François-Xavier Vialard

We study the convergence of gradient methods for the training of mean-field single-hidden-layer neural networks with square loss. For this high-dimensional and non-convex optimizat…

From Score Matching to Diffusion: A Fine-Grained Error Analysis in the Gaussian Setting

Samuel Hurault, Matthieu Terris, Thomas Moreau +1

Sampling from an unknown distribution, accessible only through discrete samples, is a fundamental problem at the core of generative AI. The current state-of-the-art methods follow…

A Unified Perspective on the Dynamics of Deep Transformers

Valérie Castin, Pierre Ablin, José Antonio Carrillo +1

Transformers, which are state-of-the-art in most machine learning tasks, represent the data as sequences of vectors called tokens. This representation is then exploited by the atte…

Keep the Momentum: Conservation Laws beyond Euclidean Gradient Flows

Sibylle Marcotte, Rémi Gribonval, Gabriel Peyré

Conservation laws are well-established in the context of Euclidean gradient flow dynamics, notably for linear or ReLU neural network training. Yet, their existence and principles f…

Understanding the training of infinitely deep and wide ResNets with Conditional Optimal Transport

Raphaël Barboni, Gabriel Peyré, François-Xavier Vialard

We study the convergence of gradient flow for the training of deep neural networks. If Residual Neural Networks are a popular example of very deep architectures, their training con…

Enhancing Hypergradients Estimation: A Study of Preconditioning and Reparameterization

Zhenzhang Ye, Gabriel Peyré, Daniel Cremers +1

Bilevel optimization aims to optimize an outer objective function that depends on the solution to an inner optimization problem. It is routinely used in Machine Learning, notably f…

How Smooth Is Attention?

Valérie Castin, Pierre Ablin, Gabriel Peyré

Self-attention and masked self-attention are at the heart of Transformers' outstanding success. Still, our mathematical understanding of attention, in particular of its Lipschitz p…

Structured Transforms Across Spaces with Cost-Regularized Optimal Transport

Othmane Sebbouh, Marco Cuturi, Gabriel Peyré

Matching a source to a target probability measure is often solved by instantiating a linear optimal transport (OT) problem, parameterized by a ground cost function that quantifies…
