Researchers detail how feature learning reshapes neural network function spaces

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

Researchers have precisely characterized how feature learning in neural networks reshapes the function space during gradient descent training. Their analysis, conducted in a high-dimensional proportional regime, shows that after a large gradient step, the feature distribution approximates a target-dependent spiked Gaussian covariance. This process induces a data-adaptive kernel that modifies the function space's spectral structure, selectively amplifying directions aligned with the target signal. AI
