Researchers have developed a new derandomization framework to better understand feature learning in neural networks. This framework allows for arbitrary network sizes and depths, trainable parameters, smooth loss functions, minimal regularization, and training methods that reach a second-order stationary point. The core of the approach is a lemma that explains structure discovery and has potential applications beyond neural networks, including MAXCUT approximation and Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings. AI
