CrossGMN introduces a graph metanetwork that processes a trained source network and an initialized target network simultaneously, enabling equivariant cross‑architecture weight‑space transformations. By preserving symmetry through cross‑network message passing, CrossGMN can refine target network initializations while remaining invariant to source permutations and equivariant to target permutations. Experiments demonstrate that CrossGMN accelerates knowledge distillation, transfers across datasets without retraining, and unifies compression from diverse source architectures into a common target architecture.

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:2607. 05017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of deep learning models crucially depends on the settings of hyperparameters like learning rate, initialization scale, and weight decay.

arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.

The paper discusses tensorizing neural networks by reshaping dense weight matrices into higher-order tensors and approximating them with low-rank tensor network decompositions. This approach offers promising model compression and introduces bond indices that create new latent spaces, potentially enhancing interpretability. Despite encouraging empirical results, tensorized neural networks remain underused, and the authors call for more research to address practical scaling and adoption challenges.
