When Both Layers Learn: Training Dynamics of Representing Linear Models via ReLU Networks

Berk Tinaz, Changzhi Xie, Mahdi Soltanolkotabi

In this paper, we study the gradient descent dynamics for jointly training both layers of a one-hidden-layer ReLU network to fit a linear target function. Concretely, we consider a…

ConceptMix++: Leveling the Playing Field in Text-to-Image Benchmarking via Iterative Prompt Optimization

Haosheng Gan, Berk Tinaz, Mohammad Shahab Sepehri +2

Current text-to-image (T2I) benchmarks evaluate models on rigid prompts, potentially underestimating true generative capabilities due to prompt sensitivity and creating biases that…
