Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as feature extractors for classification tasks. This work extends Cover's function-counting theory to analyze the "separation capacity" of these networks, which quantifies the number of binary label assignments a network can realize. The study specifically focuses on scattering networks, identifying key factors in their design that influence this capacity and offering practical insights for their construction. AI
