Towards Scaling Laws for Symbolic Regression
David Otte, Jörg K. H. Franke, Arbër Zela +2
Symbolic regression (SR) aims to discover the underlying mathematical expressions that explain observed data. This holds promise for both gaining scientific insight and for produci…
Learning in Compact Spaces with Approximately Normalized Transformer
Jörg K. H. Franke, Urs Spiegelhalter, Marianna Nezhurina +3
The successful training of deep neural networks requires addressing challenges such as overfitting, numerical instabilities leading to divergence, and increasing variance in the re…
Increasing LLM Coding Capabilities through Diverse Synthetic Coding Tasks
Amal Abed, Ivan Lukic, Jörg K. H. Franke +1
Large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive promise in code generation, yet their progress remains limited by the shortage of large-scale datasets that are both diverse and…
Balancing Synthetic Data and Replay for Enhancing Task-Specific Capabilities
Urs Spiegelhalter, Jörg K. H. Franke, Frank Hutter
Adapting language models to new tasks through continued pretraining faces a fundamental trade-off: models must learn new capabilities while avoiding catastrophic forgetting of exis…
Improving Deep Learning Optimization through Constrained Parameter Regularization
Jörg K. H. Franke, Michael Hefenbrock, Gregor Koehler +1
Regularization is a critical component in deep learning. The most commonly used approach, weight decay, applies a constant penalty coefficient uniformly across all parameters. This…
