New spectral method offers cheaper analysis of deep network complexity

Researchers have introduced Dead-Direction Signatures (DDS), a novel method for analyzing the complexity of deep neural networks. DDS offers a computationally cheaper alternative to existing techniques like the local learning coefficient (LLC), which requires extensive calibration and forward-backward passes. By examining spectral properties of activation matrices or per-sample-gradient Fisher-Grams, DDS provides a closed-form spectral reading of a network's singular structure. This new approach has demonstrated effectiveness in tracking singular values and differentiating model complexity across various tasks, complementing existing methods by offering a layer-local perspective.

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

    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 of Watanabe's real log canonical threshold (RLCT, $λ$), reads this geometry as an integrated Bayesi…
