Interpreting FCDNNs via RG on Exponential Family

arXiv:2606. 00157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider establishing the interpretability theory of deep learning through constructing a corresponding relationship between the renormalization group (RG) method in statistical physics and the training process of deep neural networks (DNNs).

Sublinearly Structured Deep Neural Networks Achieve Feature Learning Consistency for Compositional Functions

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?

Rank Collapse, Fixed Points, and the Renormalization Group Structure of MLP Residual Networks

arXiv:2606. 10324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points.

Derivation of effective gradient flow equations and dynamical truncation of training data in Deep Learning

arXiv:2501. 07400v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We derive explicit equations governing the cumulative biases and weights in Deep Learning with ReLU activation function, based on gradient descent for the Euclidean loss in the input layer, and under the assumption that the weights are, in a precise sense, adapted to the coordinate system distinguished by the activations.

Theory of the Frequency Principle for General Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:1906. 09235v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Along with fruitful applications of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to realistic problems, recently, some empirical studies of DNNs reported a universal phenomenon of Frequency Principle (F-Principle): a DNN tends to learn a target function from low to high frequencies during the training.

Rank Collapse, Fixed Points, and the Renormalization Group Structure of MLP Residual Networks

The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points. No existing work has defined a measurable RG order parameter, tested it under controlled variation of the input distribution, or made quantitative predictions that are empirically verified.
