Pretraining + fine-tuning powers modern ML, but we lack a theoretical understanding of how pretraining actually shapes downstream learning. In our new @icmlconf.bsky.social paper, we address this gap! 📅 July 9th, Poster #4502 Session 8! 🧵 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.20062
Cosyne Viewing Parties Visas, costs, care responsibilities, and environmental concerns all limit Cosyne attendance. Luckily, the talks are livestreamed; but watching alone is the high road to an aneurism. Hence: viewing parties! Gather regionally to watch Cosyne talks! More info: shorturl.at/3DHZX.

Our paper "Solve Layerwise Linear Models First to Understand Neural Dynamical Phenomena" has been accepted as a position paper to ICML 2025! arxiv.org/abs/2502.21009 These models offer a tractable path to understanding complex neural dynamics—before diving into full nonlinearity. 1/4
Position: Solve Layerwise Linear Models First to Understand Neural Dynamical Phenomena (Neural Collapse, Emergence, Lazy/Rich Regime, and Grokking)
In physics, complex systems are often simplified into minimal, solvable models that retain only the core principles. In machine learning, layerwise linear models (e.g., linear neural networks) act as ...
