arXiv:2512. 23043v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Averaging (FedAvg) often degrades under non-IID client data, but it remains unclear whether this degradation reflects the loss of client-learned representations or a failure to use representations that are still present.

arXiv:2604. 07904v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spatiotemporal neural dynamics and oscillatory synchronization are widely implicated in biological information processing and have been hypothesized to support flexible coordination such as feature binding.

arXiv:2608. 12408v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representational similarity analysis (RSA) is increasingly used to ask which learning rules give convolutional networks brain-like representations.

arXiv:2606. 03493v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks suffer from shortcut learning, where learned features generalize well to the training set but not to in-distribution (ID) or out-of-distribution (OOD) test sets.

Vision Mamba models replace quadratic self-attention with linear complexity selective state space models (SSMs), emerging as efficient visual backbones. However, MambaOut demonstrates that a Gated CNN block can match or exceed VMamba on image classification, questioning the necessity of SSMs for vision.
arXiv:2606. 04772v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience.

arXiv:2603. 01568v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Efficient coding theory predicts that biological perceptual systems compress sensory input optimally under resource constraints, with the systematic structure of errors reflecting the geometry of that compression.
