Title: Stability Analysis of Sharpness-Aware Minimization

Abstract:
arXiv:2301.06308v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) is a training method that seeks to find flat minima in deep learning, resulting in state-of-the-art performance across various domains. Instead of minimizing the loss of the current weights, SAM minimizes the worst-case loss in its neighborhood in the parameter space. In this paper, we investigate the convergence instability of SAM near a saddle point. Using the qualitative theory of dynamical systems, w
