New framework analyzes nonlinear dynamics in shallow neural networks

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework to analyze the nonlinear dynamics within the optimization landscape of shallow neural networks. This framework, applicable to networks with four or more neurons, uses the equivariant gradient degree to identify critical point bifurcations as the leaky parameter of the Leaky ReLU activation function is adjusted. The study found that a multi-mode degeneracy occurs at a critical parameter value, independent of the number of neurons, and that these bifurcations are width-independent and only occur for non-negative leaky parameters.

    Nonlinear Dynamics In Optimization Landscape of Shallow Neural Networks with Tunable Leaky ReLU

    arXiv:2510.25060v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we study the nonlinear dynamics of a shallow neural network trained with mean-squared loss and leaky ReLU activation. Under Gaussian inputs and equal layer width k, (1) we establish, based on the equivariant …
