Embedding of Low-Dimensional Sensory Dynamics in Recurrent Networks: Implications for the Geometry of Neural Representation

arXiv:2601. 19019v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural population activity in sensory cortex is organized on low-dimensional manifolds, but why such manifolds arise and what determines their geometry remain unclear.

Topological Neural Dynamics: A Neuron-wise Framework for Sequence Modeling

arXiv:2606. 21295v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing sequence models, including RNNs, LSTMs, continuous-time networks, and Transformers, share a common structural principle: layer-wise dynamics, where all neurons in the same layer co-evolve through a shared parameterized operator, leaving individual neurons no freedom to evolve independently.

Geometry-Preserving Neural Architectures on Manifolds with Boundary

arXiv:2602. 03082v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A growing number of neural architectures have been proposed to enforce geometric constraints, including projection-based networks, exponential-map updates, constrained output layers, and manifold neural ODEs.

Drift-Diffusion Matching: Embedding dynamics in latent manifolds of asymmetric neural networks

arXiv:2602. 14885v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a theoretical framework for understanding computation in biological neural circuits, yet classical results, such as Hopfield's model of associative memory, rely on symmetric connectivity that restricts network dynamics to gradient-like flows.
