RNN learning dynamics theory reveals eigenvalue tracking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a mathematical theory to explain how linear recurrent neural networks learn to integrate information over long timescales. The study, focusing on networks trained to integrate white noise, reveals that learning dynamics are governed by a low-dimensional system tracking a single outlier eigenvalue of the recurrent weights. This framework provides insights into how slow modes are acquired through gradient-based learning and has implications for both machine learning and neuroscience. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical framework for understanding how neural networks learn complex temporal patterns, potentially improving model design for tasks requiring long-term memory.

    Dynamics of learning to integrate in linear recurrent neural networks

    arXiv:2503.18754v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning recurrent connectivity that supports memory over long intrinsic timescales is a basic problem in the theory of dynamical computation. While continuous attractor and integrator models describe how tuned recurrent c…
