SGD in Multiclass Logistic Regression: Sequential Learning and Scaling Laws

The paper analyzes training dynamics of multiclass logistic regression on high‑dimensional Gaussian mixture models with many classes. It finds that learning proceeds sequentially from the most to the least frequent classes and, when class priors follow a power‑law, the cross‑entropy risk evolves through an initial plateau, a power‑law decay phase, and a final convergence phase. The study also shows how model capacity and optimization trade‑off under a fixed compute budget, leading to a compute‑optimal scaling law that prescribes model size and training time as functions of compute.

Hierarchical Grading in Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 22757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Graded Large Language Models (GLLMs), an algebraic framework that equips the representation space of a transformer with a grading and propagates the induced weighted scalar action through embeddings, self-attention, and the training objective.
