Convergence of stochastic gradient descent under a local Lojasiewicz condition for deep neural networks

18 Apr 2023  ·  Jing An, Jianfeng Lu ·

We study the convergence of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for non-convex objective functions. We establish the local convergence with positive probability under the local \L{}ojasiewicz condition introduced by Chatterjee in \cite{chatterjee2022convergence} and an additional local structural assumption of the loss function landscape. A key component of our proof is to ensure that the whole trajectories of SGD stay inside the local region with a positive probability. We also provide examples of neural networks with finite widths such that our assumptions hold.
