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.

Training in artificial neural networks can be viewed as a trajectory evolving through a high-dimensional loss landscape. However, the large number of trainable parameters makes the direct analysis of these dynamics challenging.

The book "The Principles of Diffusion Models" outlines the foundational concepts behind diffusion models, tracing their evolution from a forward process that corrupts data into noise to a reverse process that reconstructs data. It presents three complementary perspectives—variational, score-based, and flow-based—each describing how a time-dependent velocity field transports a simple prior to the data distribution. The text also covers practical guidance for controllable generation, efficient solvers, and diffusion-inspired flow-map models, providing a mathematically grounded framework for readers with basic deep‑learning knowledge.

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.
The paper presents a non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) that explains how learning reshapes the dynamics of recurrent neural networks, turning initially chaotic activity into stable, task-dependent behavior. It shows that a slow, feedback-driven learning process gradually increases effective feedback strength, driving the network through a bifurcation that marks the transition from chaotic to stable dynamics. By deriving the two-time correlation function, the authors identify a critical feedback strength and a learning-rate-dependent critical time that separate these regimes, and they demonstrate that the theory accurately predicts the network’s output evolution during training, matching numerical simulations.
Nonlinear GENERIC-Embedded Neural Networks (N-GENNs) are a deep learning framework designed to discover evolution equations for systems governed by the nonlinear GENERIC formalism. The method incorporates generalized gradient flows through convex dissipation potentials, allowing it to capture a wider range of thermodynamically consistent dynamics, including those with non‑quadratic dissipation potentials. Thermodynamic structure is enforced by construction, ensuring compliance with the first and second laws, and the approach is validated on a harmonic oscillator with a heat bath, an idealized chemical motor, and a one‑dimensional viscoplastic Perzyna model.
