The Multiple Timescales of Gradient Descent on the Edge of Stability: A Perturbative Derivation of the Central Flow
Publisher summary· verbatim
arXiv:2609.01034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The central flow of Cohen et al. (2025) is an empirically accurate continuous-time model of gradient descent at the edge of stability in deep learning, However, its derivation is heuristic. We propose a perturbative regime in which the central flow is
