Decoupling Dynamical Richness from Representation Learning: Towards Practical Measurement

Yoonsoo Nam, Nayara Fonseca, Seok Hyeong Lee, Chris Mingard, Niclas Alexander Göring, Ouns El Harzli +3

ICLR 2026poster

Dynamic feature transformation (the rich regime) does not always align with predictive performance (better representation), yet accuracy is often used as a proxy for richness, limiting analysis of their relationship. We propose a computationally efficient, performance-independent metric of richness…

An exactly solvable model for emergence and scaling laws in the multitask sparse parity problem

Yoonsoo Nam, Nayara Fonseca, Seok Hyeong Lee, Chris Mingard, Ard A. Louis

NeurIPS 2024poster

Deep learning models can exhibit what appears to be a sudden ability to solve a new problem as training time, training data, or model size increases, a phenomenon known as emergence. In this paper, we present a framework where each new ability (a skill) is represented as a basis function. We solve…
