Muon Dynamics as a Spectral Wasserstein Flow

Dimensions overall score 0.0

• This paper explores a family of spectral normalization rules for deep learning optimization, analyzing them in a mean-field regime using Spectral Wasserstein distances. For deep architectures, parameters are naturally grouped into matrices or blocks, so spectral normalizations are often more faithful than coordinatewise Euclidean ones; Muon is the main motivating example of this paper.problem 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 0.0/10 on the public viability pass. For monotone norms, including all Schatten cases, we prove the equivalence between the static and dynamic Benamou-Brenier formulations, deduce that the resulting transport cost is a genuine metric equivalent to W2 in fixed dimension, and show that the induced Gaussian covariance cost is also a metric.result 35%
