Enhancing Neural Network Generalization with Outlier Suppression Loss

Enhancing Neural Network Generalization with Outlier Suppression Loss A recent study by BayzAI.com, Volkswagen Group of America, and IECC delves into the challenge of training neural networks to accurately represent the properties of a dataset without being swayed by specific data points. The focus is on achieving better generalization to unseen data. The proposed method utilizes techniques like outlier suppression and robust loss functions to enhance convergence and generalization of neural networks. By using methods such as the Huber loss and selecting low-loss samples in Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), the approach aims to handle outliers and improve robustness. The core idea behind the method involves defining a weight distribution that averages probability distributions across all subsets of the dataset through Bayesian inference. This results in a method that mitigates the influence of outliers, thus enhancing robustness and generalization. The study demonstrates that the method significantly improves prediction accuracy and stabilizes learning, particularly evident in applications like GAN training, where stability is crucial for reaching Nash equilibrium.
