arXiv:2608. 14638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we study autoencoders, a special class of deep neural nets (DNNs) whose performance can be characterized via their fixed points.

How Controlling the Variance can Improve Training Stability of Sparsely Activated DNNs and CNNs

arXiv:2602. 05779v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Edge-of-Chaos (EoC) theory developed for the random initialization of deep networks allows more efficient training by both preserving information in the initial outputs of the network and minimising exploding or vanishing gradients through characterisation of the intermediate layers as Gaussian processes.

Correlation flow governs learning at criticality

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.
