Jacobian Regularization

Jacobian regularization is a technique used to improve the robustness and generalization of neural networks by penalizing the sensitivity of the network's output to input changes, as measured by its Jacobian matrix. Current research focuses on theoretical analyses of Jacobian regularization in infinite-width networks, its application to enhance adversarial defense and improve the efficiency of various algorithms (e.g., multigrid methods, kernel ridge regression), and its integration with other techniques like optimal transport and model ensembles. This approach holds significant promise for improving the reliability and performance of neural networks in various applications, particularly in domains requiring robustness to noise or adversarial attacks.
