Activation functions are what make deep networks expressive: without them, the model collapses to a linear map. Yet we still evaluate training mostly from the outside, through loss, accuracy, return, or final calibration, while the internal…

Deep learning is renowned for its theory-practice gap, whereby principled theory typically fails to provide much beneficial guidance for implementation in practice. This has been highlighted recently by the benign overfitting phenomenon:…
