New Lattice Representation Hypothesis Unifies AI Model Convergence Theories

A new paper proposes the Lattice Representation Hypothesis (LRH) to unify differing views on how AI models converge toward common representations. The LRH suggests that previous hypotheses, such as the Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH) and Aristotelian Representation Hypothesis (ARH), represent different alignment criteria within a lattice structure. The paper demonstrates that the PRH's claim of convergence aligns with the top of this lattice, while evidence for it often comes from criteria nearer the bottom. Experiments with numerous pre-trained vision and language models, as well as theoretical models, support these conclusions, aiming to establish a general theory for analyzing representation hypotheses.
