Fix the Loss, Not the Radius: Rethinking the Adversarial Perturbation of Sharpness-Aware Minimization

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.10183v1 Announce Type: new Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) improves generalization by minimizing the worst-case loss within a fixed parameter-space radius neighborhood. SAM and its variants mainly rely on a first-order linearized surrogate, while flat minima are inherently a second-order (curvature) notion.
