arXiv:2607. 20552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking -- the delayed generalization of neural networks long after they have memorized their training data -- wastes thousands of training epochs and is notoriously unpredictable.
arXiv:2607. 05104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Grokking -- the delayed onset of generalization long after a network has fit its training set - -is usually studied in models too large to read completely and reported from single training runs.
arXiv:2606. 03938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-epoch training is becoming the standard now that compute is growing faster than the supply of high-quality text.
arXiv:2608. 06177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Binary neural networks are very attractive for constrained deployment, enabling small footprint and low-power inference.
arXiv:2607. 29503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While neural networks are typically evaluated by their training and test performance, these metrics do not reveal how robust a learned representation is.
arXiv:2607. 06639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On modular arithmetic, a network's embedding keeps compressing for tens of thousands of steps after it has already generalized.
arXiv:2607. 23967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Delayed generalization, or grokking, remains poorly understood despite extensive empirical study.
arXiv:2505. 24275v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose GradPower, a lightweight gradient-transformation technique for accelerating language model pre-training.
Large hyperparameter sweeps for deep neural networks spend substantial compute on configurations that are effectively doomed from the first few epochs. We study whether a single training run's own early telemetry - per-epoch loss, training accuracy, gradient signal-to-noise ratio, weight-norm growth, and an activation-saturation snapshot - together with its sampled hyperparameters, can predict that run's eventual outcome without reference to other runs.
arXiv:2602. 15327v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning model performance improvements tend to arise from competition and application.
arXiv:2602. 22600v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training selects for behavior, not circuitry: many weight configurations can implement the same function.
arXiv:2604. 00230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural collapse (NC) -- the convergence of penultimate-layer features to a simplex equiangular tight frame -- is well understood at equilibrium, but the dynamics governing its onset remain poorly characterised.
arXiv:2606. 26472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As reasoning models emit chains of thought tens of thousands of tokens long, KV cache increasingly becomes a deployment bottleneck.
