contents We present multi-point optimization: an optimization technique that allows to train several models simultaneously without the need to keep the parameters of each one individually. The proposed method is used for a thorough empirical analysis of the loss landscape of neural networks. By extensive experiments on FashionMNIST and CIFAR10 datasets we demonstrate two things: 1) loss surface is surprisingly diverse and intricate in terms of landscape patterns it contains, and 2) adding batch normalization makes it more smooth. Source code to reproduce all the reported results is available on GitHub: https://github.com/universome/loss-patterns.
