Our new work on scaling laws that includes compute, model size, and number of samples. The analysis involves an extremely fine-grained analysis of online sgd built up over the last 8 years of understanding sgd on simple toy models (tensors, single index models, multi index model)

Excited to announce a new paper with Yunwei Ren, Denny Wu,
@jasondeanlee.bsky.social!

We prove a neural scaling law in the SGD learning of extensive width two-layer neural networks.

“On a log-log plot, my grandmother fits on a straight line.”
-Physicist Fritz Houtermans

There's a lot of truth to this. log-log plots are often abused and can be very misleading

Settling the Sample Complexity of Online Reinforcement Learning
A central issue lying at the heart of online reinforcement learning (RL) is data efficiency. While a number of recent works achieved asymptotically minimal regret in online RL, the optimality of these...

What's known about the 1.27 lower bound? It's a guess or there is a reason ppl believe it's fundamental?

Assume that the nodes of a social network can choose between two alternative technologies: B and X.
A node using B receives a benefit with respect to X, but there is a benefit to using the same tech as the majority of your neighbors.
Assume everyone uses X at time t=0. Will they switch to B?
