Diffusion geometry method compares neural network representations

Researchers have developed a new method using diffusion geometry to compare neural network representations across different layers and entire networks. This approach adapts manifold learning techniques by treating similarity measures as Markov matrices, allowing for multi-scale analysis. The new methods, including variants of Centered Kernel Alignment and Distance Correlation, achieve state-of-the-art results on benchmarks for both language and vision tasks, demonstrating superior accuracy and correlation, even on out-of-distribution data. AI

IMPACT This novel approach to comparing neural network architectures could lead to better understanding and development of more efficient and accurate models.

    From Layers to Networks: Comparing Neural Representations via Diffusion Geometry

    Diffusion geometry is a manifold learning framework that uses random walks defined by Markov transition matrices to characterize the geometry of a dataset at multiple scales. We use diffusion geometry for neural representations, incorporating tools from multi-view learning into t…
