Gradient Space

Gradient space analysis is emerging as a powerful tool in machine learning, focusing on the properties of gradients—the direction of model updates—rather than solely on the model parameters themselves. Current research explores its application in diverse areas, including out-of-distribution detection, federated learning (particularly unlearning), and improving deep metric learning for tasks like image-text retrieval, often leveraging techniques like subspace identification and gradient manipulation. This approach offers potential for enhanced model efficiency, robustness, and privacy, particularly in resource-constrained or distributed learning environments.
