Foolish Crowds Support Benign Overfitting

Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long

We prove a lower bound on the excess risk of sparse interpolating procedures for linear regression with Gaussian data in the overparameterized regime. We apply this result to obtai…

The Interplay Between Implicit Bias and Benign Overfitting in Two-Layer Linear Networks

Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long, Peter L. Bartlett

The recent success of neural network models has shone light on a rather surprising statistical phenomenon: statistical models that perfectly fit noisy data can generalize well to u…

When does gradient descent with logistic loss interpolate using deep networks with smoothed ReLU activations?

Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long, Peter L. Bartlett

We establish conditions under which gradient descent applied to fixed-width deep networks drives the logistic loss to zero, and prove bounds on the rate of convergence. Our analysi…

When does gradient descent with logistic loss find interpolating two-layer networks?

Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long, Peter L. Bartlett

We study the training of finite-width two-layer smoothed ReLU networks for binary classification using the logistic loss. We show that gradient descent drives the training loss to…

Failures of model-dependent generalization bounds for least-norm interpolation

Peter L. Bartlett, Philip M. Long

We consider bounds on the generalization performance of the least-norm linear regressor, in the over-parameterized regime where it can interpolate the data. We describe a sense in…

Finite-sample Analysis of Interpolating Linear Classifiers in the Overparameterized Regime

Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long

We prove bounds on the population risk of the maximum margin algorithm for two-class linear classification. For linearly separable training data, the maximum margin algorithm has b…

Oracle Lower Bounds for Stochastic Gradient Sampling Algorithms

Niladri S. Chatterji, Peter L. Bartlett, Philip M. Long

We consider the problem of sampling from a strongly log-concave density in , and prove an information theoretic lower bound on the number of stochastic gradient queri…

Benign Overfitting in Linear Regression

Peter L. Bartlett, Philip M. Long, Gábor Lugosi +1

The phenomenon of benign overfitting is one of the key mysteries uncovered by deep learning methodology: deep neural networks seem to predict well, even with a perfect fit to noisy…
