DNNs, Dataset Statistics, and Correlation Functions

A new paper proposes that the success of deep neural networks (DNNs) in image recognition tasks stems from their ability to discover high-order correlation functions within datasets. The authors argue that DNNs effectively employ a methodology similar to that used in condensed matter physics, focusing on mesoscale correlation structures. This perspective offers a potential explanation for why DNNs generalize well, seemingly defying conventional statistical learning theory. AI

    DNNs, Dataset Statistics, and Correlation Functions

    arXiv:2511.21715v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper argues that dataset structure is important in image recognition tasks (among other tasks). Specifically, we focus on the nature and genesis of correlational structure in the actual datasets upon which DNNs are t…
