Researchers have developed a new method to understand how heavy-tailed spectral densities emerge in neural network weight matrices, which are indicators of implicit self-regularization. They formulated this emergence as a hitting-time problem, accounting for runs that don't reach the heavy-tail diagnostic within the observation period. Their findings suggest a dimension-corrected spectral-gap law, which was supported by empirical data from various models including Qwen2.5-0.5B and Pythia-70M, and theoretical analysis. AI
