We study the implicit bias of AdaGrad on separable linear classification problems.

In recent years, implicit regularization from various optimization algorithms plays a crucial role in the generalizatiion abilities in training deep neural networks [Salakhutdinov and Srebro, 2015, Neyshabur et al., 2015, Keskar et al., 2016, Neyshabur et al., 2017, Zhang et al., 2017]. For example, in underdetermined problems where the number of parameters is larger than the number of training examples, many global optimum fail to exhibit good generalization properties, however, a specific optimization algorithm (such as gradient descent) does converge to a particular optimum that generalize well, although no explicit regularization is enforced when training the model.
