arXiv:2606. 01227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many networks not only support but also rely on transient non-normal amplification, an orders-of-magnitude increase in the activity of an otherwise stable system.
arXiv:2601. 02451v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) suffer from over-smoothing in deep architectures and expressiveness bounded by the 1-Weisfeiler-Leman (1-WL) test.
arXiv:2606. 00500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a simple and efficient algorithm for robust approximate message passing (AMP) in the spiked matrix setting.
arXiv:2607. 19771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Muon and related matrix-sign optimizers are increasingly used to pre-train large language models, but their effect on the internal geometry of individual weight matrices is not well understood.
arXiv:2607. 11116v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep equilibrium models promise input-adaptive implicit computation: harder problems should demand more solver iterations, and the solved equilibrium should encode the result of genuine iterative inference.
Deep equilibrium models promise input-adaptive implicit computation: harder problems should demand more solver iterations, and the solved equilibrium should encode the result of genuine iterative inference. We report a cautionary study of a port-Hamiltonian DEQ with a learned initialization on two reasoning tasks -- ProofWriter entailment over frozen DeBERTa embeddings and a BFS-verified graph-reachability benchmark -- in which the implicit computation is a silent no-op.
arXiv:2607. 07032v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spectral positional encodings (PEs) for \emph{directed} graphs face two obstacles: magnetic Laplacians require an $O(n^3)$ Hermitian eigendecomposition per potential, and their complex eigenvectors are defined only up to unitary gauge, which prior work handles with basis-invariant architectures.

arXiv:2310. 15976v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: signSGD is attractive in nonconvex optimization because it communicates sign-valued rather than full-precision gradients.
arXiv:2608. 10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability explains models by identifying circuits inside them, but has no way to tell whether a circuit is a property of the model or an artifact of the method that found it.
arXiv:2607. 16568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Function-preserving network growth techniques such as Net2Net and progressive stacking expand a model's capacity without destroying its learned function, but existing formulations either tolerate numerical perturbations or require a full rebuild of the training program.
arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.
arXiv:2607. 28428v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Kohn--Sham Spectral Embedding (KSSE), a physics-inspired energy-based model replacing dense CNN classifiers with a sparse-graph spectral embedding evaluated at the Nishimori temperature of an associated Random-Bond Ising Model.
