arXiv:2602. 19799v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite recent algorithmic advances, we still lack principled ways to leverage the well-documented rescaling symmetries in ReLU neural network parameters.

arXiv:2607. 09967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many neural networks operations have a multiplicative nature rather than additive: halving or doubling a norm are analogous relatively but require unequal optimization distances when taking linear steps.

arXiv:2607. 21005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most explanations of training instability focus on \emph{learning-rate criticality}, typically characterized by the Edge of Stability, beyond which optimization becomes unstable.

arXiv:2510. 01175v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While normalization techniques are widely used in deep learning, their theoretical understanding remains relatively limited.

Backpropagation (BP) dominates deep learning training, but its reliance on gradients brings inherent troubles -- vanishing and exploding gradients. The pursuit of gradient-free methods has long been a goal in the field of artificial intelligence.
arXiv:2606. 02526v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-tailed recognition poses a significant challenge for deep learning.
By Shuo Zhang, Chenqi Li, Tingting Zhu
arXiv:2606. 25971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern neural network training relies on optimizers such as Adam and Muon which act on each weight matrix as a single object.
