Optimal Initialization Scale for Neural Networks With Locally Quadratic Loss Landscapes: An SGD Dynamics Perspective: The results show that, for the simple network model, if the variance of the initialization distribution satisfies our theoretical optimal condition, then the corresponding network achieves lower final training loss and higher test accuracy than the conventional He-normal initialization.

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD), one of the most fundamental optimization algorithms in machine learning (ML), can be recast through a continuous-time approximation as a Fokker-Planck equation for Langevin dynamics, a viewpoint that has motivated many theoretical studies. Within this framework, we study the relationship between the quasi-stationary distribution derived from this equation and the initial distribution through the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence.

Federated learning deployments in smart healthcare remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model inversion, plus practical barriers of heterogeneous data, scalability, and system interoperability.

This peer-reviewed review from December 2024 examines federated learning as a decentralized approach for smart healthcare, where institutions collaborate on machine learning without sharing raw patient data, integrated with IoT devices, wearables, and remote monitoring for real-time predictive analytics.

Learners using ChatGPT may develop dependence on the tool and exhibit metacognitive laziness that hinders self-regulation and deep engagement.

In a December 2024 randomized lab experiment, 117 university students completed a writing task with support from ChatGPT, a human expert, analytics tools, or no extra support. Researchers measured intrinsic motivation, self-regulated learning processes, and performance, finding no motivation differences but different process patterns and higher essay score gains for the ChatGPT group without higher knowledge gain or transfer.

Frequent AI tool usage was associated with reduced critical thinking abilities, mediated by increased cognitive offloading.

A mixed-method study of 666 participants examined how AI tool usage relates to critical thinking, with cognitive offloading as a mediating factor. By publication on Jan 3 2025, authors reported a significant negative correlation between frequent AI use and critical thinking abilities.
