arXiv:2601. 21579v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The success of Hyper-Connections (HC) in neural networks (NN) has also highlighted issues related to training instability and restricted scalability.

arXiv:2608. 07851v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residual connections rely on a static residual pathway, and are essential for training deep neural networks.

arXiv:2607. 21607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks propagate information through local message passing, but the graph topologies themselves can silently prevent any amount of training from solving long-range tasks.

arXiv:2510. 10101v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding the interplay between generalization, expressivity, and the geometry of the input space is a central challenge in graph learning.

arXiv:2606. 07574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manifold-constrained hyper-connections (mHCs) have recently been proposed as a principled extension of hyper-connections, where the residual mixing matrices are constrained to be doubly stochastic via projection onto the Birkhoff polytope.

arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.

arXiv:2608. 07333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modeling multivariate time series by representing them as graphs, where individual series act as nodes and pairwise temporal corre- lations serve as edges, has gained significant traction.

arXiv:2607. 28185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oversmoothing is a fundamental limitation of deep graph neural networks (GNNs), where repeated message passing causes node representations to become increasingly similar, eventually collapsing toward a low-dimensional subspace.

arXiv:2606. 10324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points.

arXiv:2607. 18074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equivariant graph neural networks repeatedly apply edge-conditioned tensor-product convolutions over graph edges.

arXiv:2607. 15773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Higher-order couplings enhance the expressive power of hypergraph neural networks (HGNNs), but they also intensify representation collapse in deep propagation due to strong multi-way feature mixing.
