New theory links neural network ensembles to nuclear reaction models

A new paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding neural network ensembles in open systems, drawing parallels to nuclear reaction theory. The research suggests that existing ensemble theories primarily address closed systems, missing a crucial 'open' case where information can irreversibly flow out. The paper introduces a mathematical approach using moments of distributions and Gaussian algebra to analyze this open system, finding that while conserved flux can be tracked, the most useful uncertainty lies in the 'closed' half of the model.

    Integrating Out, Twice:The Open-System Case That Neural-Network Ensemble Theory Is Missing

    arXiv:2606.09950v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Averaging a neural network over its random parameters and marginalizing a Gaussian sector are the same operation, the Schur complement of the eliminated block, and when that block is closed it returns a covariance and its inverse. T…
