How Deep Neural Networks Learn Compositional Data: The Random Hierarchy Model

Francesco Cagnetta, Leonardo Petrini, Umberto M. Tomasini +2

Deep learning algorithms demonstrate a surprising ability to learn high-dimensional tasks from limited examples. This is commonly attributed to the depth of neural networks, enabli…

How deep convolutional neural networks lose spatial information with training

Umberto M. Tomasini, Leonardo Petrini, Francesco Cagnetta +1

A central question of machine learning is how deep nets manage to learn tasks in high dimensions. An appealing hypothesis is that they achieve this feat by building a representatio…

Learning sparse features can lead to overfitting in neural networks

Leonardo Petrini, Francesco Cagnetta, Eric Vanden-Eijnden +1

It is widely believed that the success of deep networks lies in their ability to learn a meaningful representation of the features of the data. Yet, understanding when and how this…

Relative stability toward diffeomorphisms indicates performance in deep nets

Leonardo Petrini, Alessandro Favero, Mario Geiger +1

Understanding why deep nets can classify data in large dimensions remains a challenge. It has been proposed that they do so by becoming stable to diffeomorphisms, yet existing empi…

Geometric compression of invariant manifolds in neural nets

Jonas Paccolat, Leonardo Petrini, Mario Geiger +2

We study how neural networks compress uninformative input space in models where data lie in dimensions, but whose label only vary within a linear manifold of dimension $d_\para…
