Convergence of continuous-time stochastic gradient descent with applications to deep neural networks

arXiv — cs.LGMonday, November 3, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
A recent study explores a continuous-time approach to stochastic gradient descent, revealing important conditions for convergence that enhance our understanding of training deep neural networks. This research builds on previous work by Chatterjee and is significant because it addresses challenges in minimizing expected loss in learning problems, particularly in the context of overparametrized models. Such advancements could lead to more efficient training methods in machine learning, making it a noteworthy development in the field.
