New 'Representation Gap' metric explains neural network generalization

Researchers have introduced a new metric called the Representation Gap to better understand and predict the generalization error of neural networks. This metric, related to asymptotic dynamics, is governed by the task's intrinsic dimension. The study demonstrates the metric's accuracy on various datasets and links it to common neural network architectures. AI
