Inheritance Between Feedforward and Convolutional Networks via Model Projection

arXiv:2602. 06245v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural-network techniques are often transferred across architecture families by analogy, but such transfer is valid only when the assumptions required by a technique are preserved.

CrossGMN: Graph Metanetworks for Cross-Architecture Weight-Space Transformations

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.

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?

Breaking the Scale Barrier: One-Shot Knowledge Transfer via Frequency Transform

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.

Tensorization is a powerful but underexplored tool for compression and interpretability of neural networks

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.
