A Link between Shock-wave Theory and Symmetry-reduced Stochastic Gradient Descent for Artificial Neural Networks

2026-06-18

Summary

A study analyzing the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent that occurs during the learning process of an artificial neural network by mathematically linking it with shock wave theory.

Key Points

By removing the parameter symmetry of the neural network and applying local entropy roughness, we demonstrate that the effective learning dynamics satisfies the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
In a space where symmetry is removed, the slope of the loss function follows the Burgers-type equation, which strictly explains the formation of shock waves during the neural network learning process.
It can be applied to various architectures such as multi-layer perceptron, CNN, and Transformer, and provides a theoretical foundation for monitoring and controlling learning phase transitions.

This study proposes a detailed structural pruning technique at the channel level rather than at the expert level to reduce the memory occupancy and inference cost of the mixed expert (MoE) model.

Key Points

Existing expert-level pruning has limitations in compression performance because it cannot capture subtle redundancies within the model.
Considering that information within MoE experts is concentrated in some channels, we developed a channel-level structural pruning framework.
The pruning rate allocation problem is reformulated into a channel score coverage maximization problem and efficiently solved through attribute-based approximation.

Continuous Audio Thinking for Large Audio Language Models

2026-06-18

Summary

This study proposes a continuous latent action space (CoAT) framework using expert distillation to enable Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) to retain acoustic information lost during response generation.

Key Points

LALM is trained mainly for text generation, so it has the limitation of losing rich acoustic information such as voice details, prosody, and acoustic events.
CoAT processes information distilled from expert models into a continuous latent space to organize acoustic information before generating a response.
Demonstrated performance improvement in Qwen2-Audio, Qwen2.5-Omni-7B, Audio Flamingo 3, etc. with single prefill processing without additional autoregressive decoding cost.
