Multiple Descents in Deep Learning as a Sequence of Order-Chaos Transitions
We observe a novel 'multiple-descent' phenomenon during the training process of LSTM, in which the test loss goes through long cycles of up and down trend multiple times after the model is overtrained. By carrying out asymptotic stability analysis of the models, we found that the cycles in test loss are closely associated with the phase transition process between order and chaos, and the local optimal epochs are consistently at the critical transition point between the two phases. More importantly, the global optimal epoch occurs at the first transition from order to chaos, where the 'width' of the 'edge of chaos' is the widest, allowing the best exploration of better weight configurations for learning.

A mathematical model of the metabolism of a cell. Self-organization and chaos
Using the classical tools of nonlinear dynamics, we study the process of self-organization and the appearance of the chaos in the metabolic process in a cell with the help of a mathematical model of the transformation of…

We consider stochastic gradient descents on the space of large symmetric matrices of suitable functions that are invariant under permuting the rows and columns using the same permutation. We establish deterministic limit…
