Researchers have developed a new information-theoretic framework to measure representational ambiguity in neural networks. Their experiments on MNIST classifiers showed that relational structures in network connectivity can encode content unambiguously, even when behavioral accuracy is identical to standard networks. This work offers a quantitative method to assess representational ambiguity and suggests that neural networks can exhibit the low-ambiguity representations theorized to be crucial for consciousness.
