arXiv:2606. 18538v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the major difficulties in the mechanistic interpretability of neural networks is the occurrence of polysemanticity, which suggests that each neuron is typically responsible for multiple different tasks, impeding a clean interpretation of their function.

arXiv:2607. 04800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks are thought to represent concepts as directions in their activation space, and superposition lets them encode more concepts than they have dimensions.

arXiv:2605. 15435v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard deep-learning pipelines usually choose the network architecture before training and keep it fixed throughout optimization.

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success on complex machine-learning tasks, yet the theoretical foundations of their performance remain incomplete. From a statistical viewpoint, a natural question is: can DNNs attain feature-learning and prediction consistency comparable to that of classical models?
arXiv:2604. 27031v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In a continual learning setting, we require a model to be plastic enough to learn a new task and stable enough to not disturb previously learned capabilities.
