Bulk Strong Matter: the Trinity

Posted by klaurent October 4, 2022October 17, 2022Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyu Lai, Chengjun Xia, Renxin Xu, , | Summary: Our world is wonderful because of the normal but negligibly small baryonic part (i.e., atoms) although unknown dark matter and dark energy dominate the Universe. A stable atomic nucleus could be simply termed as “strong matter” since its […]

Omnigrok: Grokking Beyond Algorithmic Data

Posted by klaurent October 3, 2022October 17, 2022MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Eric J. Michaud, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Grokking, the unusual phenomenon for algorithmic datasets where generalization happens long after overfitting the training data, has remained elusive. We aim to understand grokking by analyzing the loss landscapes of neural networks, identifying the mismatch between training […]
