Mysterious observation: re-initializing neural nets during training can improve generalization, despite *no* change to the model, data or compute. We asked: when do re-initialization methods work?. Paper📄: Poster🖼️: . (1/6)

Incredible achievement. Only 1 point away from a gold medal + it solved P6! 🎉🥈This felt a bit further in the future than it was. Excited about the implications of such systems for open problems in math.

A very natural idea (in retrospect!) given that MLPs are most often illustrated as graphs – nice work.
