Theory suggests noise fundamentally shapes RNN representation learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new theoretical paper explores the impact of intrinsic noise on the learning dynamics of linear recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Researchers argue that noise, often considered a nuisance, can fundamentally shape representation learning by breaking solution-space degeneracies. The study, which uses an analytically tractable model with white noise inputs, demonstrates that noise can significantly influence the alignment of weights and even induce phase transitions where non-degenerate solutions are no longer optimal under certain parameter constraints.

IMPACT Provides theoretical insights into how noise can influence learning in recurrent neural networks, potentially impacting model design and understanding.

    A theory of noisy linear recurrent neural network learning dynamics

    arXiv:2610.35785v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological neural networks are noisy: their dynamics involve difficult-to-predict fluctuations which are likely due not just to chaos, but also to a variety of low-level biophysical processes. Despite the omnipresence of intrinsic n…
