A Stochastic--Geometric Theory of Scaling Laws in Grokking

arXiv:2606. 30388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Delayed generalization (\ie~grokking) refers to the phenomenon in which a neural network fits its training data early in training but only begins to generalize after a prolonged delay, often through an abrupt transition.

Dimensionality Controls When Modularity Helps in Continual Learning

arXiv:2606. 17889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compositional learning systems must balance plasticity, the ability to acquire new knowledge, with stability, the preservation of previously learned components, especially when tasks share structure and risk interference.
