Task: PAC-Bayes Generalization Bound Optimization

Research Question

Design a tighter PAC-Bayes generalization bound by optimizing the bound formulation, prior/posterior parameterization, and KL divergence estimation for stochastic neural networks.

Background

PAC-Bayes theory provides non-vacuous generalization bounds for stochastic classifiers. Given a prior distribution P over hypotheses (chosen before seeing data) and a posterior Q (learned from data), PAC-Bayes bounds certify that with high probability (1-delta), the true risk of a stochastic classifier sampled from Q is bounded.

The key components of a PAC-Bayes bound are:

  • Empirical risk: estimated loss of the stochastic predictor on training data
  • KL divergence: KL(Q||P) measuring complexity of the posterior relative to the prior
  • Bound formula: how these terms combine to yield the final certificate

Standard bounds include:

  • McAllester/Maurer: risk + sqrt(KL_term / (2n)) -- simple but loose
  • Catoni/Lambda: risk/(1-lam/2) + KL_term/(nlam(1-lam/2)) -- tighter with tuned lambda
  • Quadratic: (sqrt(risk + KL_term) + sqrt(KL_term))^2 -- better at low risk

The bound can be further tightened through:

  • Optimizing the bound functional form (beyond classical inequalities)
  • Better training objectives that minimize the bound directly
  • Improved risk certificate evaluation (e.g., PAC-Bayes-kl inversion)
  • Data-dependent prior construction
  • Tighter KL estimation or alternative divergence measures

What to Implement

Implement the BoundOptimizer class in custom_pac_bayes.py. You must implement:

  1. compute_bound(empirical_risk, kl, n, delta): The PAC-Bayes bound formula
  2. train_step(model, data, target, device, n_bound, delta): Training objective
  3. compute_risk_certificate(model, bound_loader, device, delta, mc_samples): Final certificate evaluation

Interface

  • model(x, sample=True/False): stochastic forward pass (sample=True) or posterior mean (sample=False)
  • get_total_kl(model): sum of KL divergence across all probabilistic layers
  • inv_kl(q, c): binary KL inversion -- find p such that KL(Ber(q)||Ber(p)) = c
  • compute_01_risk(model, loader, device, mc_samples): MC estimate of 0-1 risk
  • Available losses: F.nll_loss, F.cross_entropy on log_softmax outputs

Evaluation

The bound optimizer is tested on three settings:

  1. MNIST-FCN: 4-layer fully connected network (784-600-600-600-10) on MNIST
  2. MNIST-CNN: 4-layer CNN (2 conv + 2 fc) on MNIST
  3. FashionMNIST-CNN: Same CNN architecture on FashionMNIST

Primary metric: risk_certificate (0-1 loss PAC-Bayes bound) -- lower is better (tighter bound).

Training uses data-dependent priors: 50% of training data trains a deterministic prior, 50% evaluates the bound.

Hints

  • The PAC-Bayes-kl bound (Langford-Seeger) is often tighter than closed-form alternatives for certificate evaluation
  • The training objective need not be the sa
