arXiv:2507.05164v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this chapter, we utilize dynamical systems to analyze several aspects of machine learning algorithms. As an expository contribution we demonstrate how to re-formulate a wide variety of challenges from deep neural networks, (stochastic) gradient descent, and related topics into dynamical statements. We also tackle three concrete challenges. First, we consider the process of information propagation through a neural network, i.e., we study the input-output map for different architectures. We explain the universal embedding property for
This publication, part of a surge in theoretical AI research, coincides with increasing academic interest in foundational mathematical approaches to understanding complex neural network behaviors.
Understanding neural networks through dynamical systems provides a more rigorous theoretical framework for designing robust and predictable AI, moving beyond empirical trial-and-error.
The adoption of dynamical systems theory could lead to more efficient, stable, and generalizable AI models, influencing future development and deployment strategies.
