abstract
In this paper I investigate the effect of random seed selection on the accuracy when using popular deep learning architectures for computer vision. I scan a large amount of seeds (up to $10^4$) on CIFAR 10 and I also scan fewer seeds on Imagenet using pre-trained models to investigate large scale datasets. The conclusions are that even if the variance is not very large, it is surprisingly easy to find an outlier that performs much better or much worse than the average.

Grokking Is Conditional and Fragile: A Fully-Tractable, Multi-Seed Study at 12K Parameters
In a fully tractable 12K Llama-style model, grokking is a conditional fragile phase transition gated by coverage (tracking modulus more than structure), weight decay, and floating-point reduction order, so evidence mu...
