Strong Generalization
Strong generalization, the ability of machine learning models to perform well on unseen data, is a central objective in current research. Active areas of investigation include improving the robustness of self-supervised learning, understanding the optimization dynamics of transformers and other architectures (including CNNs and RNNs), and developing methods to enhance generalization through data augmentation, regularization techniques (e.g., logical regularization, consistency regularization), and improved training strategies (e.g., few-shot learning, meta-learning). These advancements are crucial for building reliable and adaptable AI systems across diverse applications, from image classification and natural language processing to healthcare and robotics.
