Dead-Direction Signatures: A Cheap Spectral Reading of Singular Complexity

Tejas Pradeep Shirodkar, P. J. Narayanan

Singular learning theory characterises the complexity of a deep network through the geometry of its loss singularities. The local learning coefficient (LLC), the standard estimator…

Algebraic Dead Directions in LayerNorm Transformers: A Forward-Pass-Only Diagnostic at LLM Scale

Tejas Pradeep Shirodkar, P. J. Narayanan

Pretrained transformers sit near singular minima of the loss, where the Fisher information metric degenerates along dead directions: directions in parameter space along which the d…

Prototype Guided Backdoor Defense

Venkat Adithya Amula, Sunayana Samavedam, Saurabh Saini +2

Deep learning models are susceptible to {\em backdoor attacks} involving malicious attackers perturbing a small subset of training data with a {\em trigger} to causes misclassifica…

A survey on Concept-based Approaches For Model Improvement

Avani Gupta, P J Narayanan

The focus of recent research has shifted from merely improving the metrics based performance of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to DNNs which are more interpretable to humans. The fiel…

Concept Distillation: Leveraging Human-Centered Explanations for Model Improvement

Avani Gupta, Saurabh Saini, P J Narayanan

Humans use abstract concepts for understanding instead of hard features. Recent interpretability research has focused on human-centered concept explanations of neural networks. Con…
