About Event

​1) πŸ“„ Paper: mHC: Manifold Constrained Hyper Connections

​2) Presenter: Adin Mauer

​3) Paper 3-line Summary: Let’s take a deep dive into one of the most interesting recent twists on a classic building block of attention networks: residual connections. Hyper-Connections expand these residual paths and unlock more expressivity, but they also bring training instability and significant memory overhead. DeepSeek’s mHC shows how to keep the benefits of hyper-connections while removing much of their cost and instability.

​I recommend watching this video on the Manifold Hypothesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdNYw6qwuNc
