Rank Collapse in Deep Learning
We can learn a lot about Why Deep Learning Works by studying the properties of the layer weight matrices of pre-trained neural networks. And, hopefully,
Power Laws in Deep Learning 2: Universality
Power Law Distributions in Deep Learning In a previous post, we saw that the Fully Connected (FC) layers of the most common pre-trained Deep Learning
Power Laws in Deep Learning
Why Does Deep Learning Work ? If we could get a better handle on this, we could solve some very hard problems in Deep Learning. A
