Deep Learning Spectra Explained by Unifying Theory

Researchers have developed an analytic explanation for the low-dimensional eigenspectra observed in deep learning matrices. This phenomenon, previously explained by empirical observations or partial theoretical models, is now unified under the concept of Unconstrained Feature Models (UFMs). The study demonstrates that Deep Neural Collapse (DNC) is the underlying cause, with eigenvalues and eigenvectors derivable from feature means. The findings apply to both linear and ReLU networks and have been validated numerically across various architectures and datasets. AI

IMPACT Provides a unifying theoretical framework for understanding spectral properties in deep learning models.

    Unifying Low Dimensional Spectra in Deep Learning

    arXiv:2404.06106v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Low dimensional structures appear ubiquitously in the eigenspectra of deep learning matrices in classification networks trained in the overparameterized regime. While theoretical advances have aimed to explain this phenomenology…
