Mean-Field Limits for Two-Layer Neural Networks Trained with Consensus-Based Optimization

arXiv — cs.LGWednesday, December 3, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A study on Consensus-Based Optimization (CBO) for training two-layer neural networks reveals that a hybrid approach combining CBO with Adam optimizes convergence rates. The research also reformulates CBO within an optimal transport framework, demonstrating a mean-field limit formulation that reduces memory overhead in multi-task learning scenarios.
  • This development is significant as it highlights the potential of CBO in enhancing neural network training efficiency, particularly in multi-task learning environments where memory constraints are critical.
  • The findings contribute to ongoing discussions in the field of artificial intelligence regarding optimization techniques, particularly the effectiveness of adaptive methods like Adam compared to traditional approaches, and the importance of memory efficiency in machine learning applications.
