abstract
We argue that the optimization plays a crucial role in generalization of deep learning models through implicit regularization. We do this by demonstrating that generalization ability is not controlled by network size but rather by some other implicit control. We then demonstrate how changing the empirical optimization procedure can improve generalization, even if actual optimization quality is not affected. We do so by studying the geometry of the parameter space of deep networks, and devising an optimization algorithm attuned to this geometry.

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.
A layer-wise peeling framework creates reference bounds to diagnose under-optimized layers in trained decoder-only transformers, including low-bit and quantized versions.
