Researchers have developed a solvable hierarchical model that explains how scaling laws emerge from feature learning in multi-layer neural networks. The model demonstrates that strong features become detectable with smaller datasets, while weaker features require more data. This sequential recovery of latent directions leads to an explicit power-law decay in prediction error, outperforming non-adaptive methods. AI
