arXiv:2602. 17596v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study pathwise connectivity of sublevel sets for one-hidden-layer ReLU networks with constrained first-layer weights and an $\ell_1$ penalty on the output layer.

arXiv:2607. 16676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How deep does a graph neural network need to be on a sparse graph?
arXiv:2606. 21253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning that is gradient-free, local, online, and append-only is attractive for edge and streaming deployment, but its value is usually argued informally.
arXiv:2605. 01928v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We optimize losses that jump: spiking thresholds, quantized layers, and discrete routing put jumps in the forward pass, where backpropagation does not apply.
arXiv:2607. 07778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj conjectured that, for generic data, any two-layer neural network with $m$ neurons that fits $n$ noisy labels must have Lipschitz constant at least of order $\sqrt{n/m}$, with no restriction on the size of the weights.
arXiv:2607. 05815v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Minkowski functionals of a field's excursion sets -- area, boundary measure, and Euler characteristic -- describe its level-set morphology; the Euler characteristic is the cheapest handle on topology.
arXiv:2604. 20219v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Depth is widely viewed as a central contributor to the success of deep neural networks, whereas standard neural network approximation theory typically provides guarantees only for the final output and leaves the role of intermediate layers largely unclear.
