Rapid Norm Growth

Rapid norm growth, a phenomenon observed in various machine learning contexts, refers to the rapid increase in the magnitude of model parameters (norms) during training or inference. Current research focuses on understanding and mitigating this growth, particularly in deep learning optimizers, where different norms are assigned to different network components to improve training stability and scalability. This research is significant because controlling norm growth can lead to more efficient and robust models, impacting areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and optimization algorithms themselves. The development of novel normalization techniques and their integration into existing architectures are key areas of ongoing investigation.
