Dichotomy of Feature Learning and Unlearning: Fast-Slow Analysis on Neural Networks with Stochastic Gradient Descent
ICML 2026poster
The dynamics of gradient-based training in neural networks often exhibit nontrivial structures; hence, understanding them remains a central challenge in theoretical machine learning. In particular, a concept of *feature* **un***learning*, in which a neural network progressively loses previously lear…
