Neural network dissertation probes loss landscape and feature learning

A dissertation explores the internal workings of neural networks, focusing on their optimization processes and the phenomenon of mode connectivity within the loss landscape. The research aims to demystify how these networks arrive at their solutions, which is crucial given their widespread use in critical decision-making across various sectors. By studying a more manageable setting, the work seeks to generalize findings about neural network failures and understand the underlying structure that enables their learning. AI

IMPACT Provides a deeper understanding of neural network optimization, potentially leading to more reliable AI systems in critical applications.

    From the Loss Landscape to Diverse Feature Learning in Neural Networks

    arXiv:2608.28948v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the course of the last decade, neural networks have grown from an academic curiosity to moving the markets of nations. Despite this explosion in both research and deployment, relatively little is understood about how they ach…
