We introduce a model for neural scaling laws under sparse activations. In the model, test loss is often dominated by rare coordinates that are never observed in the training input. This mechanism induces a novel bottleneck absent from dense…

In this letter we show that the late-time scaling state in spinodal decomposition is not unique. We performed lattice Boltzmann simulations of the phase-ordering of a 50%-50% binary mixture using as initial conditions for the phase-ordering…
