Derives a novel two-point deterministic equivalence for random matrix resolvents to obtain unified asymptotics for SGD-trained linear regression, kernel regression, and random feature models.
Ridge regression in high dimensions exhibits power-law scalings because covariance fluctuations renormalize the ridge parameter, allowing closed-form error expressions and bias-variance decompositions for random feature models via free probability.
ReST improves LLM translation quality on benchmarks via offline RL on self-generated data, achieving gains in a compute-efficient way compared to typical RLHF.
Repeating training data up to 4 epochs yields negligible loss increase versus unique data for fixed compute, and a new scaling law accounts for the decaying value of repeated tokens and excess parameters.
Tuning the depth-width ratio positions models in an efficient neural interaction interval that correlates with better generalization under fixed budgets and remains stable with scale.
