New framework 'Quotient Dynamics' analyzes positive quadratic neural networks

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework called Quotient Dynamics to analyze the training behavior of positive quadratic neural networks. This framework leverages a low-rank representation of these networks, where the parameters are identifiable up to a certain orthogonal multiplication. The study details how this quotient structure influences training dynamics, curvature, and interpolation bias, particularly in the context of quadratic regression. The findings include the derivation of effective Hessians, spectral initializers, and convergence guarantees for both gradient flow and finite-step descent methods, with numerical experiments validating the theoretical predictions.

    Quotient Dynamics, Effective Curvature, and Implicit Bias in Positive Quadratic Networks

    arXiv:2607.25624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positive quadratic networks admit the low-rank representation f_U(x)=x^top UU^top x, where Uinmathbb{R}^{dtimes r} is identifiable only up to right orthogonal multiplication, representing a rank-r PSD matrix Q=UU^top. We study how t…
