Rank Collapse, Fixed Points, and the Renormalization Group Structure of MLP Residual Networks
Parviz Haggi-Mani, Irina Rish
The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative:…
