New research links machine learning opacity to training complexity

A new research paper explores the concept of "learning opacity" in machine learning, arguing that the complexity of the learning process itself contributes to the difficulty in understanding how models arrive at their predictions. The study identifies three key properties of training complexity—sensitivity to weight initialization, feedback in gradient-based optimization, and sensitivity to training data—and explains how each property enhances this opacity. The authors suggest that some sources of opacity in machine learning may be inherent and irreducible due to the fundamental nature of the learning process. AI
