Randomly initialized autoencoders: fixed points and edge-of-chaos
Leonid Berlyand, Roman Sarapin, Yitzchak Shmalo +2
In this paper we study autoencoders, a special class of deep neural nets (DNNs) whose performance can be characterized via their fixed points. This perspective naturally raises que…

Pruning Deep Neural Networks via the Marchenko--Pastur Distribution
Leonid Berlyand, Theo Bourdais, Houman Owhadi +1
We study a Marchenko--Pastur (MP) random-matrix approach to pruning deep neural networks with very small post-pruning fine-tuning budgets. The main practical contribution is accura…
