arXiv:2606. 04327v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate the geometric structure of stationary plateaus that arise in the loss landscape of two-layer neural networks with smooth activation functions.

arXiv:2608. 13335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks trained by gradient descent on a smooth cost function can nevertheless learn in steps: the cost holds on long plateaus and then drops abruptly.

arXiv:2607. 23397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hierarchical neural networks are widely used in artificial intelligence, yet their mathematical properties remain incompletely understood.

arXiv:2608. 06766v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training changes a network's predictions while allocating task-relevant structure across its internal units.

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.
