Query: Stochastic Mirror Descent on Overparameterized Nonlinear Models:
  Convergence, Implicit Regularization, and Generalization   Most modern learning problems are highly overparameterized, meaning that
there are many more parameters than the number of training data points, and as
a result, the training loss may have infinitely many global minima (parameter
vectors that perfectly interpolate the training data). Therefore, it is
important to understand which interpolating solutions we converge to, how they
depend on the initialization point and the learning algorithm, and whether they
lead to different generalization performances. In this paper, we study these
questions for the family of stochastic mirror descent (SMD) algorithms, of
which the popular stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a special case. Our
contributions are both theoretical and experimental. On the theory side, we
show that in the overparameterized nonlinear setting, if the initialization is
close enough to the manifold of global minima (something that comes for free in
the highly overparameterized case), SMD with sufficiently small step size
converges to a global minimum that is approximately the closest one in Bregman
divergence. On the experimental side, our extensive experiments on standard
datasets and models, using various initializations, various mirror descents,
and various Bregman divergences, consistently confirms that this phenomenon
happens in deep learning. Our experiments further indicate that there is a
clear difference in the generalization performance of the solutions obtained by
different SMD algorithms. Experimenting on a standard image dataset and network
architecture with SMD with different kinds of implicit regularization, $\ell_1$
to encourage sparsity, $\ell_2$ yielding SGD, and $\ell_{10}$ to discourage
large components in the parameter vector, consistently and definitively shows
that $\ell_{10}$-SMD has better generalization performance than SGD, which in
turn has better generalization performance than $\ell_1$-SMD.
