Chiyuan Zhang and his research colleagues published a landmark paper at ICLR showing that deep neural networks possess enough raw capacity to easily memorize completely random training data noise while still managing to generalize perfectly to real-world datasets, exposing a massive blind spot in classical statistical learning theory.
