Researchers have introduced Neural Quadratic Forms (NQF) as a unified minimal model to explain the learning dynamics of neural networks. This model unifies various architectures like perceptrons, attention layers, and mixtures of experts by abstracting their specific details into a single "structure matrix." The theory predicts that training losses follow smooth power laws or exhibit sudden learning, depending on the initial weight magnitudes and data characteristics. These predictions have been numerically confirmed across different training methods and architectures. AI
