Exploring Landscapes for Better Minima along Valleys

arXiv — cs.LGMonday, November 3, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
A new study introduces an innovative adaptor 'E' for gradient-based optimizers in deep learning, aiming to enhance the search for lower and better-generalizing minima. This is significant because traditional optimizers often halt their search upon reaching a local minimum, which may not be the best solution. By addressing the complex geometric properties of the loss landscape, this research could lead to improved performance in deep learning models, making them more effective and reliable.

Entropic Confinement and Mode Connectivity in Overparameterized Neural Networks

Recent research has identified a paradox in modern neural networks, where optimization dynamics tend to remain confined within single convex basins of attraction in the loss landscape, despite the presence of low-loss paths connecting these basins. This study highlights the role of entropic barriers, which arise from curvature variations and noise in optimization dynamics, influencing the exploration of parameter space.
