New Math Bounds Applied to Neural Network Robustness

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have published a paper detailing new mathematical bounds for the volume of tubular neighborhoods of smooth Pfaffian hypersurfaces. These bounds, expressed using the Pfaffian format of defining functions, have applications in understanding the robustness of neural network classifiers. Specifically, the work provides tail bounds for condition numbers related to neural networks employing Pfaffian activation functions and derives polynomial-in-width bounds for the decision boundary in single-hidden-layer sigmoid networks with rational weights.
