Function-Space Optimality of Neural Architectures with Multivariate Nonlinearities

Michaël Unser, Rahul Parhi

We investigate the function-space optimality (specifically, the Banach-space optimality) of a large class of shallow neural architectures with multivariate nonlinearities/activation functions. To that end, we construct a new family of Banach spaces defined ...

Euclid preparation XXXIII. Characterization of convolutional neural networks for the identification of galaxy-galaxy strong-lensing events

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Georgios Vernardos, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Forthcoming imaging surveys will increase the number of known galaxy-scale strong lenses by several orders of magnitude. For this to happen, images of billions of galaxies will have to be inspected to identify potential candidates. In this context, deep-le ...

How Two-Layer Neural Networks Learn, One (Giant) Step at a Time

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Ludovic Théo Stephan, Yatin Dandi, Luca Pesce

For high-dimensional Gaussian data, we investigate theoretically how the features of a two-layer neural network adapt to the structure of the target function through a few large batch gradient descent steps, leading to an improvement in the approximation c ...

Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Emanuela De Falco, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...

Alpha peak frequency affects visual performance beyond temporal resolution

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Recent work suggests that the individual alpha peak frequency (IAPF) reflects the temporal resolution of visual processing: individuals with higher IAPF can segregate stimuli at shorter intervals compared to those with lower IAPF. However, this evidence ma ...
