Researchers have developed a novel statistical-mechanical framework to describe the learning dynamics of deep neural networks by analyzing them in function space. This approach treats parameter configurations as microscopic elements and functions with their dynamical operators as macroscopic variables. The study reveals that the learning operator governs error dynamics, and a statistical operator derived from the density of states influences relaxation. For ReLU-type function spaces, this framework suggests a preference for faster learning along smooth, data-adaptive directions, identifying function space as a key level for understanding stable organization in learning.
