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.

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.

Learning Manifold and It\^o Dynamics with Branched Neural Rough Differential Equations

arXiv:2606. 05272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural rough differential equations (NRDEs) stay accurate under irregular sampling while taking far fewer integration steps than standard neural differential equations, summarising a finely sampled driver by its log-signature and advancing the hidden state over coarse intervals using the log-ODE method.

Paradoxical noise preference in RNNs

arXiv:2601. 04539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recurrent neural networks (RNNs) used to model biological neural networks, noise is typically introduced during training to emulate biological variability and regularize learning.
