New theory explores neural network solution spaces and neuron identifiability

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand how neural networks can achieve linear mode connectivity, even in models that lack structural symmetries. This framework focuses on 'effective function classes' and the cost of realizing them, formalizing symmetry breaking through neuron identifiability across different training runs. The findings suggest that neural networks can possess multiple equivalent solutions and enable representation merging without prior alignment, highlighting the impact of effective function classes on the loss landscape.
