arXiv:2607. 04535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orthogonal and Stiefel layers give neural weights exact spectral control, but they also impose a strong modeling constraint: all represented singular values are fixed at one.
arXiv:2606. 02596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The curvature exponent $\alpha$ in $h_k \propto \sigma_k^\alpha$ -- governing how Hessian eigenvalues scale with gradient singular values -- varies systematically across layer types ($\alpha \approx 2$ for convolutions, $\approx 1$ for transformer attention, $< 1$ for MLP up-projections).
arXiv:2607. 07032v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spectral positional encodings (PEs) for \emph{directed} graphs face two obstacles: magnetic Laplacians require an $O(n^3)$ Hermitian eigendecomposition per potential, and their complex eigenvectors are defined only up to unitary gauge, which prior work handles with basis-invariant architectures.
arXiv:2606. 28444v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classical universal approximation theorems establish the expressive power of sigmoidal multilayer perceptrons, but they do not prescribe how initial weights should encode the geometry of a data distribution.
arXiv:2602. 00722v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Parameter-efficient continual learning aims to adapt pre-trained models to sequential tasks without forgetting previously acquired knowledge.
arXiv:2607. 22931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analytic Continual Learning (ACL) offers a computationally efficient alternative to gradient-based approaches.
arXiv:2607. 07032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spectral positional encodings (PEs) for \emph{directed} graphs face two obstacles: magnetic Laplacians require an $O(n^3)$ Hermitian eigendecomposition per potential, and their complex eigenvectors are defined only up to unitary gauge, which prior work handles with basis-invariant architectures.
arXiv:2602. 22895v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Implementations of symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrix-based neural networks for neural decoding remain fragmented across research codebases and Python packages.
arXiv:2607. 02576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) commonly adapts pretrained weights through low-rank updates, and recent methods further exploit the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the base weight for initialization or subspace selection.
arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.
arXiv:2607. 06621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The pre-softmax score of an attention head is a bilinear form $score(i,j) = x_i^T M x_j$ in a learned operator $M = W_q^T W_k$.
arXiv:2607. 25624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positive quadratic networks admit the low-rank representation f_U(x)=x^top UU^top x, where Uinmathbb{R}^{dtimes r} is identifiable only up to right orthogonal multiplication, representing a rank-r PSD matrix Q=UU^top.
arXiv:2501. 10870v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The principal objective of this work is twofold within nonparametric regression settings: (1) to establish the minimax optimal convergence rates for fixed-bandwidth Gaussian kernel spectral algorithms when the true regression function resides in a Sobolev space, and (2) to apply Gaussian spectral algorithms for achieving robust and adaptive transfer learning under concept shift.
