arXiv:2608.07851v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual connections rely on a static residual pathway, and are essential for training deep neural networks. Hyper-connections (HC) increase the expressivity of residual routing by incorporating multiple residual streams and learning dynamic information flow, while manifold-constrained (mHC) variants stabilize training through doubly stochastic residual mixing. However, a generator-level bottleneck remains in existing methods: they use dense, unstructured generators for pre-branch aggregation, residual mixing, and post-branch redistribution, which results in parameter count growing rapidly with the number of streams. To address this issue, we propose \underline{\textbf{T}}ensorized \underline{\textbf{E}}fficient \underline{\textbf{M}}anifold-constrained \underline{\textbf{P}}arameterization for \underline{\textbf{E}}xpressive Residual \underline{\textbf{R}}outing (\textbf{TEMPER}), which represents these generators as multi-way tensors over the input-stream, feature, and output-stream modes, and parameterizes them using tensor networks. Such a structured low-rank formulation is shown to preserve token-dependent manifold-constrained routing interface while substantially reducing parameter growth. It also promotes interpretability and intuition, as: i) tensor ranks control the dimensionality of the learned routing subspace, with full ranks recovering dense routing; while ii) the generator approximation errors bound differences in routing logits and, consequently, in the routed-block outputs.
