arXiv:2601.21579v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The success of Hyper-Connections (HC) in neural networks (NN) has also highlighted issues related to training instability and restricted scalability. The Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC) mitigate these challenges by projecting the residual connection space onto a Birkhoff polytope, however, it faces two issues: 1) its iterative Sinkhorn-Knopp (SK) algorithm does not always yield exactly doubly stochastic residual matrices; 2) mHC incurs a prohibitive $O(n^3C)$ parameter complexity with $n$ as the width of the residual stream and $
The continuous evolution of AI models demands new architectural improvements to overcome current limitations, especially concerning scalability and training stability in advanced neural networks.
Improved hyper-connections can lead to more stable and scalable neural networks, impacting the efficiency and capability of future AI systems. This advancement could enable more complex and powerful AI models with reduced computational overhead.
This research introduces architectural improvements (KromHC) that promise better scalability and stability in hyper-connected neural networks compared to previous methods like mHC, addressing its complexity and convergence issues.
