abstract
Gradient descent, when applied to the task of logistic regression, outputs iterates which are biased to follow a unique ray defined by the data. The direction of this ray is the maximum margin predictor of a maximal linearly separable subset of the data; the gradient descent iterates converge to this ray in direction at the rate $\mathcal{O}(\ln\ln t / \ln t)$. The ray does not pass through the origin in general, and its offset is the bounded global optimum of the risk over the remaining data; gradient descent recovers this offset at a rate $\mathcal{O}((\ln t)^2 / \sqrt{t})$.

EW with Gaussian prior matches the optimal O(d log(Bn)) regret for online logistic regression at O(B^3 n^5) cost and converges geometrically to a truncated Gaussian vote in the large-B separable regime.
Continual classification in homogeneous models is sequential projections onto margin sets, with local linear convergence under regularity properties for random and cyclic tasks, extended to regression.
Mini-batch noise reverses how Adam's β2 controls anti-regularization, making default momentum values suitable for small batches but requiring β1 closer to β2 for large batches to favor flatter minima.
Gradient descent on logistic loss for two-layer nonlinear models reduces to perceptron updates, yielding provable Õ(√d) iteration complexity from nonlinearity versus Ω(d) for linear models.
