On the different regimes of Stochastic Gradient Descent
Antonio Sclocchi, Matthieu Wyart · 2023-09-19 · via stat.ML updates on arXiv.org

Modern deep networks are trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) whose key hyperparameters are the number of data considered at each step or batch size $B$, and the step size or learning rate $η$. For small $B$ and large $η$, SGD corresponds to a stochastic evolution of the parameters, whose noise amplitude is governed by the ''temperature'' $T\equiv η/B$. Yet this description is observed to break down for sufficiently large batches $B\geq B^*$, or simplifies to gradient descent (GD) when the temperature is sufficiently small. Understanding where these cross-overs take place remains a central challenge. Here, we resolve these questions for a teacher-student perceptron classification model and show empirically that our key predictions still apply to deep networks. Specifically, we obtain a phase diagram in the $B$-$η$ plane that separates three dynamical phases: (i) a noise-dominated SGD governed by temperature, (ii) a large-first-step-dominated SGD and (iii) GD. These different phases also correspond to different regimes of generalization error. Remarkably, our analysis reveals that the batch size $B^*$ separating regimes (i) and (ii) scale with the size $P$ of the training set, with an exponent that characterizes the hardness of the classification problem.
