On Machine Learning Loss Landscapes
Loss functions are pivotal to the training of every machine learning model. When evaluating the loss function over a large range of parameters, a loss landscape is obtained. In this thesis, loss landscapes for various classes of machine learning models are explored. Geometric properties of the loss …
