The paper theoretically demonstrates the emergence of low-dimensional structures in neural networks’ weights, Hessians, gradients, and feature vectors during training. This phenomenon, called Neural Collapse or Deep Neural Collapse, arises when the network approaches global optima. The analysis shows how this unified framework explains various observed behaviors, including bulk and outlier structure in Hessian spectra and gradient alignment with the outlier eigenspace of the Hessian. Empirical results support these predictions.

Neural networks are super smart computers that can do many things. Researchers found that when these networks learn new skills, some patterns emerge in their inner workings. This paper explains why these patterns happen and shows how they fit together in a big picture way. It’s like solving a puzzle!
