arXiv:2606.07495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how training data shape neural network predictions is a central problem in modern learning theory. In 2020, Pedro Domingos proposed an interpolation formula valid for every model learned by deterministic gradient descent. It expresses the model's prediction as an integral, along the optimization path, of a data-dependent kernel that aligns the model's gradients at the test and training data. Such a first-order characterization remains valid for models trained with batch-based stochastic optimization. In this paper, we develop second
This research builds upon a 2020 proposal, indicating a continuous advancement in understanding fundamental AI mechanisms.
A sophisticated reader should care because deeper theoretical understanding of neural networks can lead to more robust, interpretable, and efficient AI systems.
This paper extends previous work by developing second-order path kernel interpolation formulas, offering a more nuanced view of how training data influence AI predictions.
