Problem 10: Phase Transitions in the Training Dynamics of Neural Networks Statement: Investigate the existence of phase transitions in the training dynamics of neural networks as a function of hyperparameters such as learning rate, network width, and depth. Prove the conditions under which these phase transitions occur and characterize their impact on convergence and generalization. Key Points for the Proof: • Define what constitutes a phase transition in the context of neural network training. • Analyze how varying hyperparameters affects the behavior of gradient descent or other optimization algorithms. . Use statistical physics or dynamical systems theory to model and identify phase transitions. • Demonstrate the critical thresholds and their effects on training outcomes.

The response of a system for an impulse input in the time domain is called excitation step response impulse response transfer function

2. An experiment was conducted to explore the effects of fatigue on the performance of a simple manual task. A random sample of 15 male, college students was obtained. We will assume that this sample forms a random sample from all of the male, college students that were available to the investigators. These students were trained to make a continuous horizontal right-to-left arm movement from a microswitch to a barrier, so that the barrier was knocked over at exactly the same time as the clock sweep second hand arrived at the 6 o'clock position. The absolute value of the difference between the time, in milliseconds, that it took to knock over the barrier and the time for the sweep second hand to reach the 6 o'clock position was recorded. Note that the student's goal is to make this time difference as close to zero as possible. Each participant performed the task five times under rested conditions (the student was not fatigued) and fatigued conditions (the student was fatigued). The sums…
