Estimating the Local Learning Coefficient at Scale

no code implementations6 Feb 2024 Zach Furman, Edmund Lau

The \textit{local learning coefficient} (LLC) is a principled way of quantifying model complexity, originally derived in the context of Bayesian statistics using singular learning theory (SLT).

Variational Bayesian Neural Networks via Resolution of Singularities

1 code implementation13 Feb 2023 Susan Wei, Edmund Lau

In this work, we advocate for the importance of singular learning theory (SLT) as it pertains to the theory and practice of variational inference in Bayesian neural networks (BNNs).
