Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
We consider the Multiscale Single-Index Model (MSIM), first introduced by Oymak and Soltanolkotabi (2021), as a stylized model for hierarchical feature learning with scale separation. Each layer extracts a shared single-index feature at one physical scale and passes it to the next, giving a tractable setting in which to study how deep architectures learn local multiscale representations. Under non-degeneracy and delocalization assumptions on the link function and planted features respectively, for the two hidden-layer case ($K=2$), we analyze joint online spherical SGD under MSE loss, which is a canonical regression objective, in discrete time and show that it achieves weak recovery from random initialization in $O(d\log^2 d)$ samples, followed by strong recovery to accuracy $\varepsilon$ in $O(d\log(1/\varepsilon))$ additional samples. The main technical challenge arises from the non-Gaussian learned features observed by the second layer. We address this challenge through a quantitative Gaussian comparison using delocalization, combined with sharp trajectory-level control of the coupled SGD dynamics. This work is a companion to Bruna (2026, arXiv:2607.03347), which studies recovery under a correlation objective for general $K$.
