arXiv:2501. 07400v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We derive explicit equations governing the cumulative biases and weights in Deep Learning with ReLU activation function, based on gradient descent for the Euclidean loss in the input layer, and under the assumption that the weights are, in a precise sense, adapted to the coordinate system distinguished by the activations.

arXiv:2607. 04993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many phenomena of deep learning are dynamical: they concern not only which minima exist, but how gradient descent reaches, avoids, or selects among them.

arXiv:2606. 04476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study the gradient descent dynamics for jointly training both layers of a one-hidden-layer ReLU network to fit a linear target function.

arXiv:2605. 10775v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A surprising phenomenon in the training of neural networks is the ability of gradient descent to find global minimizers of the training loss despite its non-convexity.

arXiv:2608. 04382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gradient descent has been of particular interest in modern machine learning beyond sole focus on optimization.

arXiv:2401. 04013v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deep learning models, such as wide neural networks, can be conceptualized as nonlinear dynamical physical systems characterized by a multitude of interacting degrees of freedom.

arXiv:2511. 01938v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Grokking is a puzzling phenomenon in neural networks where full generalization occurs only after a substantial delay following the complete memorization of the training data.

arXiv:2605. 28983v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, training a neural network is identified, exactly, as a search through Hamilton--Jacobi initial-value problems: each gradient step selects the initial data of a viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equation whose Hopf--Cole propagator best fits the observations; at inference, the input is the spatial point at which that solution is evaluated and the initial condition is already encoded in the weights.
