Researchers have explored the theoretical underpinnings of why deep neural networks, despite their complexity, often learn effectively in practice. A new study using Tree Tensor Networks (TTNs) demonstrates that even models with inherently hard-to-learn targets can possess benign loss landscapes. The findings suggest that the difficulty in learning complex targets may stem from high-order degenerate saddle points caused by rank deficiency, rather than bad local minima. AI
