In-context Learning of Single-index Targets: Comparing Kernel and Feature Learners

In-context learning (ICL) enables a pretrained model to infer a task from demonstrations without updating its parameters. While much of the existing theory focuses on linear target functions, in this paper we study nonlinear cases by comparing two one-layer attention architectures on the same family of single-index tas...

High-Dimensional Learning Dynamics of Attention-Indexed Models

This work studies attention-indexed models, a broad framework that can represent multi-layer and multi-head attention architectures, and reveals that attention parameterization itself can act as an architectural implicit bias.

Neural Quadratic Forms: A Unified Minimal Model for Sudden Learning and Scaling Laws

It is shown that a symmetry fixes what variables are: a network layer is a sum over interchangeable units, so relabeling the units leaves it unchanged; given smoothness and the condition that a unit's gradient vanish at the origin, symmetry then enforces a universal leading form for the expansion about the near-zero we...
