Analysis of Kinetic Models for Label Switching and Stochastic Gradient Descent

1 Jul 2022  ·  Martin Burger, Alex Rossi ·

In this paper we provide a novel approach to the analysis of kinetic models for label switching, which are used for particle systems that can randomly switch between gradient flows in different energy landscapes. Besides problems in biology and physics, we also demonstrate that stochastic gradient descent, the most popular technique in machine learning, can be understood in this setting, when considering a time-continuous variant. Our analysis is focusing on the case of evolution in a collection of external potentials, for which we provide analytical and numerical results about the evolution as well as the stationary problem.
