Generalization Bounds for Stochastic Gradient Descent via Localized -Covers

Sejun Park, Umut Şimşekli, Murat A. Erdogdu

In this paper, we propose a new covering technique localized for the trajectories of SGD. This localization provides an algorithm-specific complexity measured by the covering numbe…

High-dimensional Asymptotics of Feature Learning: How One Gradient Step Improves the Representation

Jimmy Ba, Murat A. Erdogdu, Taiji Suzuki +3

We study the first gradient descent step on the first-layer parameters in a two-layer neural network: $f(\boldsymbol{x}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}\boldsymbol{a}^\topσ(\…

Mirror Descent Strikes Again: Optimal Stochastic Convex Optimization under Infinite Noise Variance

Nuri Mert Vural, Lu Yu, Krishnakumar Balasubramanian +2

We study stochastic convex optimization under infinite noise variance. Specifically, when the stochastic gradient is unbiased and has uniformly bounded -th moment, for some…

Towards a Theory of Non-Log-Concave Sampling: First-Order Stationarity Guarantees for Langevin Monte Carlo

Krishnakumar Balasubramanian, Sinho Chewi, Murat A. Erdogdu +2

For the task of sampling from a density on , where is possibly non-convex but -gradient Lipschitz, we prove that averaged Langevin Monte Ca…

Heavy-tailed Sampling via Transformed Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm

Ye He, Krishnakumar Balasubramanian, Murat A. Erdogdu

We analyze the oracle complexity of sampling from polynomially decaying heavy-tailed target densities based on running the Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm on certain transformed vers…

On Empirical Risk Minimization with Dependent and Heavy-Tailed Data

Abhishek Roy, Krishnakumar Balasubramanian, Murat A. Erdogdu

In this work, we establish risk bounds for the Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) with both dependent and heavy-tailed data-generating processes. We do so by extending the seminal w…
