We study the gradient flow dynamics of diagonal linear networks for regression tasks under infinitesimal initialization. Extending Theorem 1 from Pesme & Flammarion (2023), we generalize the analysis to both deep diagonal linear networks and a broader class of two-layer diagonal linear networks (as defined in Definition 4.

arXiv:2506. 08764v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deep neural networks are known to suffer from exploding or vanishing gradients as depth increases, a phenomenon closely tied to the spectral behavior of the input-output Jacobian.

arXiv:2606. 04476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study the gradient descent dynamics for jointly training both layers of a one-hidden-layer ReLU network to fit a linear target function.

arXiv:2608. 08350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The initialisation of deep neural networks determines whether information and gradients can propagate across depth, yet a unified theory connecting these properties to learning dynamics remains elusive.

arXiv:2511. 01938v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Grokking is a puzzling phenomenon in neural networks where full generalization occurs only after a substantial delay following the complete memorization of the training data.
