Paper challenges cosine similarity metric for neural representations

A new paper published on arXiv argues that mean-pooled cosine similarity, a common metric for comparing neural representations, is not length-invariant. The researchers demonstrate that sequence length alone can heavily influence this metric, potentially skewing results in cross-lingual and cross-modal comparisons. They propose using Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) as a more robust, length-invariant alternative for evaluating representational similarity. AI

影响 Challenges the validity of common evaluation metrics, potentially impacting how model performance is assessed and compared.

排序理由 Academic paper proposing a new methodology for evaluating neural representations.

    Mean-Pooled Cosine Similarity is Not Length-Invariant: Theory and Cross-Domain Evidence for a Length-Invariant Alternative

    Mean-pooled cosine similarity is the default metric for comparing neural representations across languages, modalities, and tasks. We establish that this metric is not length-invariant: under the anisotropy that characterizes modern transformer representations, mean-pooled cosine …
