We propose to study the generalization error of a learned predictor $\hat h$ in terms of that of a surrogate (potentially randomized) predictor that is coupled to $\hat h$ and designed to trade empirical risk for control of generalization error. In the case where $\hat h$ interpolates the data, it is interesting to consider theoretical surrogate classifiers that are partially derandomized or rerandomized, e.g., fit to the training data but with modified label noise. We also show that replacing…

Structure from Randomness in Halfspace Learning with the Zero-One Loss
• Computer Science
J. Artif. Intell. Res.
• 2020
The results suggest that the study of compressive learning can improve the understanding of which benign structural traits – if they are possessed by the data generator – make it easier to learn an effective classifier from a sample.
Optimistic Rates: A Unifying Theory for Interpolation Learning and Regularization in Linear Regression
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2021
The optimistic rate bound is studied for linear regression with Gaussian data to recover some classical statistical guarantees for ridge and LASSO regression under random designs, and helps to obtain a precise understanding of the excess risk of near-interpolators in the over-parameterized regime.
Generalization bounds for deep learning
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2020
Desiderata for techniques that predict generalization errors for deep learning models in supervised learning are introduced, and a marginal-likelihood PAC-Bayesian bound is derived that fulfills desiderata 1-3 and 5.
The Implicit Bias of Benign Overfitting
This paper proposes a prototypical and rather generic data model for benign overﬁtting of linear predictors, where an arbitrary input distribution of some ﬁxed dimension k is concatenated with a high-dimensional distribution and proves that the max-margin predictor is asymptotically biased towards minimizing a weighted squared hinge loss.
Towards Understanding Generalization via Decomposing Excess Risk Dynamics
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2021
Inspired by the observation that neural networks show a slow convergence rate when fitting noise, this work proposes decomposing the excess risk dynamics and applying stability-based bound only on the variance part (which measures how the model performs on pure noise), and provides two applications for the framework.
Uniform Convergence, Adversarial Spheres and a Simple Remedy
• Computer Science
ICML
• 2021
It is proved that the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) also suffers from the same phenomenon and its origin is uncovered and the important role of the output bias is highlighted and theoretically as well as empirically how a sensible choice completely mitigates the problem is highlighted.
Uniform Convergence of Interpolators: Gaussian Width, Norm Bounds, and Benign Overfitting

We consider interpolation learning in high-dimensional linear regression with Gaussian data, and prove a generic uniform convergence guarantee on the generalization error of interpolators in an
Benign Overfitting without Linearity: Neural Network Classifiers Trained by Gradient Descent for Noisy Linear Data
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2022
This work considers the generalization error of two-layer neural networks trained to interpolation by gradient descent on the logistic loss following random initialization and shows that in this setting, neural networks exhibit benign overﬁtting: they can be driven to zero training error, perfectly matching any noisy training labels, and simultaneously achieve test error close to the Bayes-optimal error.
Generalization of GANs and overparameterized models under Lipschitz continuity
• Computer Science
• 2021
Borders show that penalizing the Lipschitz constant of the GAN loss can improve generalization, and it is shown that, when using Dropout or spectral normalization, both truly deep neural networks and GANs can generalize well without the curse of dimensionality.
The Sample Complexity of One-Hidden-Layer Neural Networks
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2022
It is proved that in general, controlling the spectral norm of the hidden layer weight matrix is insufficient to get uniform convergence guarantees (independent of the network width), while a stronger Frobenius norm control is sufficient, extending and improving on previous work.

• Computer Science
