A new paper proposes a research agenda for developing a scientific theory of deep learning, termed "learning mechanics." This theory aims to understand the dynamics of the training process using aggregate statistics to make predictions. The authors argue that such a theory is crucial for scientific understanding, practical engineering guidance for LLM training, and AI safety through better interpretability and governance. AI
