Don’t Peek: Deep Learning without looking … at test data
What is the purpose of a theory ? To explain why something works. Sure. But what good is a theory (i.e VC) that is totally

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,
