arXiv:2607. 08843v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In artificial and biological neural networks, concepts are often encoded as consistent linear directions in representation space.
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:2608. 09707v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Embedding trained neural networks as surrogates within optimisation problems is an established practice in operations research.
Dynamic expansion methods for class-incremental learning (CIL) protect task-specific knowledge by growing dedicated tokens or subnetworks, yet our analyses suggest that classification supervision alone does not sufficiently preserve task-agnostic shared backbone representations over long incremental sequences. We identify two intertwined challenges: cross-task confusion from sequential training on predominantly current-task data, which biases decision boundaries toward recent tasks; and under-optimized shared representations in the backbone that cap long-term discriminability as tasks accumulate.
arXiv:2607. 12382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat?
arXiv:2606. 21497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep neural networks are trained using error backpropagation, which requires sequential forward and backward computations across network layers.
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.
arXiv:2610.00753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end backpropagation has been the dominant mode of training in deep learning, allowing for the coordination of parameter updates across layers...
arXiv:2411. 16073v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inspired by the Well-initialized Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (WLTH), we introduce Soft-TransFormers (Soft-TF), a continual learning framework that adapts a frozen pre-trained Transformer through task-specific soft subnetworks: real-valued multiplicative masks over the query, key, value, and output projections of selected self-attention layers.
