Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 24887v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing theories of neural-network width characterize asymptotic limits, but provide limited guidance on whether an expansion direction identified from finite training data remains beneficial on unseen data.

Minimax-Optimal Generalization Bounds for Smooth Deep Neural Networks Trained by (Stochastic) Gradient Descent

arXiv:2606. 06772v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Characterizing the optimization dynamics and statistical performance of over-parameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) remains a central challenge in understanding the remarkable success of deep learning.

Rank Collapse, Fixed Points, and the Renormalization Group Structure of MLP Residual Networks

The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points. No existing work has defined a measurable RG order parameter, tested it under controlled variation of the input distribution, or made quantitative predictions that are empirically verified.
