There will be a scientific theory of deep learning
chevron_right
Josh Albrecht, Imbue co-founder and applied ML engineer; Daniel Kunin, Berkeley postdoc studying mathematical principles of intelligence; Jamie Simon, Imbue research fellow and physics-trained deep learning theorist. They explore a proposed “learning mechanics” — a physics-like theory of deep learning. Short takes cover why theory is needed, scaling and limit behaviors, progressive sharpening and edge-of-stability, universality of representations, and how theory and mechanistic interpretability can work together.
