New 'knowledge matrices' offer higher representation for neural networks

This paper introduces "knowledge matrices" as a novel way to represent information within trained feedforward neural networks. These matrices, derived from network weights and activations, offer a higher-level representation than traditional hidden activations. The research demonstrates that knowledge matrices can be used to analyze network behavior, measure distances between different architectures like ResNet-152 and DenseNet-121, and even quantify the impact of adversarial attacks.

    Hidden Activations are not Enough I: Knowledge Matrices as Higher Representations

    We study the knowledge matrix of a trained feedforward network as a higher representation of its inputs. A network is a pair $(W,f)$, a thin representation $W$ of its quiver and an activation $f$; its function factorizes through the space of quiver representations, each input $x$…
