arXiv:2608. 10416v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a theoretical foundation for inverse-distance attention, from its Euclidean prototype (Resolver) to its non-Euclidean realization (Riemann GeoResolver).

A deep network's loss is invariant to continuous symmetries of its parameters: the logit shift, the ReLU rescaling, the LayerNorm scale, the per-head attention rotation. Adam's per-coordinate preconditioner drifts along each symmetry orbit, which pulls the trajectory off the symmetry quotient where the optimization lives and blurs the singular-learning rate the quotient makes readable.

arXiv:2608. 14803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A recent line of work recasts the post-memorization phase of grokking as constrained optimization: once a network interpolates the training set, weight decay drives a slow drift along the zero-loss manifold toward lower norm.

arXiv:2608. 08322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks applied to the level-set formulation of interface advection commonly augment the residual and initial-condition losses with an eikonal regulariser, penalising the deviation of $\|\nabla\phi\|$ from unity.

arXiv:2606. 05957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Singular learning theory and information geometry have studied the same parameter spaces in mostly separate vocabularies: the former computes Bayesian invariants in resolved coordinates, the latter works in original coordinates under a non-degeneracy assumption that overparameterised models routinely violate.

arXiv:2605. 24942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Steering a language model - intervening on its internal activations to change downstream behaviour - has recently expanded beyond linear interpolation to nonlinear methods such as angular and kernelized steering, which define intervention transformations without learning an explicit geometry over paths in activation space.

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).
