Slow Transition to Low-Dimensional Chaos in Heavy-Tailed Recurrent Neural Networks
NeurIPS 2025poster
Growing evidence suggests that synaptic weights in the brain follow heavy-tailed distributions, yet most theoretical analyses of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) assume Gaussian connectivity. We systematically study the activity of RNNs with random weights drawn from biologically plausible Lévy alph…
