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. 09710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular classification is often governed by local, condition-triggered rules rather than smooth global patterns.
