arXiv:2606.08167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent research has established empirical scaling laws to predict model performance on multi-domain data mixtures. However, a theoretical understanding of these model loss behaviors remains absent. In this work, we propose a unified framework to explain the underlying mechanics of data mixing. Our approach extends theoretical perspectives originally developed for standard neural scaling laws (e.g., Kaplan and Chinchilla) to the multi-domain setti
