arXiv:2603.20967v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the most common machine learning setups is logistic regression. In many classification models, including neural networks, the final prediction is obtained by applying a logistic link function to a linear score. In binary logistic regression, the feedback can be either soft labels, corresponding to the true conditional probability of the data (as in distillation), or sampled hard labels (taking values $\pm 1$). We point out a fundamental problem that arises even in a particularly favorable setting, where the goal is to learn a noi
This research highlights a fundamental problem in a common machine learning setup, indicating ongoing efforts to refine core AI algorithms and address their limitations.
Understanding the pitfalls of current machine learning models, especially with sampled hard labels, is crucial for developing more robust and reliable AI systems across various applications.
The identification of this problem suggests a need for re-evaluation and potential adjustments in how certain machine learning models, like logistic regression and neural networks, are trained and validated.
