Neural Networks' Grokking Transition Unveiled
Researchers have mapped the transition from memorization to generalization in neural networks, known as grokking. They found that doubling data accelerates generalization by about 4 times, while doubling width only improves performance by around 1.2 times. The study reveals a power-law scaling relation for generalization onset time: $T{ ext{grok}} ightarrow H^{-0.27} D^{-2.04} ext{eta}^{-0.50}…
