A research paper investigates the "weight-space perception gap" in neural networks, specifically focusing on how parameter symmetries affect the ability to interpret network weights. The study, using approximately 1.8 million fitted SIRENs (Implicit Neural Representations), found that randomizing the symmetry group alone, while keeping the network's function fixed, destroyed nearly all of the accuracy gap between shared-initialized and independently fitted networks. This suggests that symmetry is a sufficient explanation for this degradation, with sign flips accounting for the largest portion of the loss. AI
