arXiv:2607. 12438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep networks trained with label noise often learn clean structure before memorizing corrupted labels.
arXiv:2512. 23043v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Averaging (FedAvg) often degrades under non-IID client data, but it remains unclear whether this degradation reflects the loss of client-learned representations or a failure to use representations that are still present.
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.

arXiv:2606. 26538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Transformers are composed of uniformly stacked residual blocks, yet their deepest layers often add little value.
arXiv:2605. 20282v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine unlearning in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) has attracted growing interest, yet existing methods certify forgetting solely using output-level metrics.
arXiv:2607. 16231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern neural networks can fit corrupted training labels, making noisy-label learning a useful setting for studying memorization-driven overfitting.
arXiv:2606. 11123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Backpropagation (BP) is widely viewed as biologically implausible, in part because it requires feedback weights to be the transpose of forward weights for error propagation.

arXiv:2607. 14018v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate how each component of the Transformer feedforward block architecture design determines how much rank survives across depth at initialization.
arXiv:2607. 14427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A depth-recurrent transformer applies a weight-tied core a variable number of times, and prior work has shown that training with a randomized recursion count yields one checkpoint usable across a range of inference depths.
arXiv:2601. 18699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) adaptation to target tasks often triggers catastrophic forgetting, where the acquisition of novel target skills degrades ancestral capabilities.
arXiv:2607. 14466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Noise injection is a well-known technique in stochastic optimization.
