Researchers have developed a theoretical framework to understand the robustness of deep ReLU neural networks against random input perturbations. The study derives lower bounds on local robustness by employing high-dimensional geometry and a novel characterization of the geometric structure of ReLU network input-output functions. A key finding is that the number of faces in the partition of the input space induced by a ReLU network is limited by the number of network units, irrespective of depth or architecture. The analysis also characterizes how local robustness scales with input dimension and identifies sets of inputs most susceptible to adversarial examples, showing that vulnerable regions shrink rapidly with increasing dimension.
