Theory of Optimal Learning Rate Schedules and Scaling Laws for a Random Feature Model

Blake Bordelon, Francesco Mori

Setting the learning rate (LR) for a deep learning model is a critical part of successful training. Choosing LRs is often done empirically with trial and error. In this work, we ex…

Cosmic-ray transport in inhomogeneous media

Robert J. Ewart, Patrick Reichherzer, Shuzhe Ren +6

A theory of cosmic-ray transport in multi-phase diffusive media is developed, with the specific application to cases in which the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient has large spatial…

Analytic theory of dropout regularization

Francesco Mori, Francesca Mignacco

Dropout is a regularization technique widely used in training artificial neural networks to mitigate overfitting. It consists of dynamically deactivating subsets of the network dur…

Optimal Protocols for Continual Learning via Statistical Physics and Control Theory

Francesco Mori, Stefano Sarao Mannelli, Francesca Mignacco

Artificial neural networks often struggle with catastrophic forgetting when learning multiple tasks sequentially, as training on new tasks degrades the performance on previously le…

Optimal switching strategies for navigation in stochastic settings

Francesco Mori, L. Mahadevan

When navigating complex environments, animals often combine multiple strategies to mitigate the effects of external disturbances. These modalities often correspond to different sou…
