Model Generalization: A Sharpness Aware Optimization Perspective

원문 초록

Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) and adaptive sharpness-aware minimization (ASAM) aim to improve the model generalization. And in this project, we proposed three experiments to valid their generalization from the sharpness aware perspective. And our experiments show that sharpness aware-based optimization techniques could help to provide models with strong generalization ability. Our experiments also show that ASAM could improve the generalization performance on un-normalized data, but further research is needed to confirm this.
