arXiv:2606. 30384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training in artificial neural networks can be viewed as a trajectory evolving through a high-dimensional loss landscape.
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.
