What happened
Researchers introduced a stopgrad regression principle, which identifies a general template for stopgrad objectives with a closed-form characterization of stationary points and their uniqueness.
The researchers introduced a stopgrad regression principle, which identifies a general template for stopgrad objectives with a closed-form characterization of stationary points and their uniqueness.
They provided theoretical grounding for optimizing stopgrad flow map objectives by showing their unique stationary point is the true flow map, and showing positive convergence results for Eulerian and Lagrangian objectives.
The researchers also showed that under functional semi-gradient flow, the learned flow map has a closed-form expression composing the initial flow map and the true flow map.
They proposed modified stopgrad placements for flow map objectives which reduce training memory by 2x.
