Researchers have developed a new framework called Neural Feature Dynamics (NFD) to better understand how features evolve during the training of deep neural networks, particularly in the infinite-depth limit. The study focuses on ResNets and addresses the complex interplay between forward features and backward gradients caused by weight reuse in backpropagation. NFD provides a more accurate infinite-depth limit for feature learning dynamics by decoupling these correlated terms, showing that the impact of reused weights diminishes with increased network depth.
