IJCAI 2026 Paper: Scale-Invariant Neural Networks Obey Ideal Gas Law
Mila_Quebec · x · 2026-08-19
A new paper accepted to IJCAI 2026 draws a fascinating connection between neural network training dynamics and statistical physics. The authors demonstrate that scale-invariant neural networks behave like ideal gases at stationarity, providing a thermodynamic perspective on how training hyperparameters influence the final solutions.
