Why don’t neural networks learn all at once, but instead progress from simple to complex solutions? And what does “simple” even mean across different neural network architectures?

Sharing our new paper @iclr_conf led by Yedi Zhang with Peter Latham

Excited to launch Principia, a nonprofit research organisation at the intersection of deep learning theory and AI safety.

Our goal is to develop theory for modern machine learning that can help us understand network behaviors, including those critical for AI safety.
