Toward Deeper Understanding of Neural Networks: The Power of Initialization and a Dual View on Expressivity

Neural Information Processing Systems

We develop a general duality between neural networks and compositional kernel Hilbert spaces. We introduce the notion of a computation skeleton, an acyclic graph that succinctly describes both a family of neural networks and a kernel space. Random neural networks are generated from a skeleton through node replication followed by sampling from a normal distribution to assign weights. The kernel space consists of functions that arise by compositions, averaging, and non-linear transformations governed by the skeleton's graph topology and activation functions. We prove that random networks induce representations which approximate the kernel space. In particular, it follows that random weight initialization often yields a favorable starting point for optimization despite the worst-case intractability of training neural networks.


The first non-binary person? Stone Age woman was buried like a MAN 7,000 years ago - suggesting they had a 'complex identity'

Studies of 125 skeletons across several cemeteries in Hungary have found that while the majority of people were buried according to their gender, some defied the norm. Men, for example, were typically buried on their right side surrounded by polished stone tools.









Ancient sharks once swam in this landlocked state

Popular Science

'Sharkansas' contains entire fossilized skeletons dating back 320 million years. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Arkansas is hundreds of miles from the Gulf of Mexico, but it's home to countless sharks . A trove of the fossilized predator's remains are embedded within the Fayetteville Shale --a roughly 350-million-year-old geological formation in the state's northwestern corner. Because a shark's cartilage skeleton decomposes so quickly, they usually only leave teeth behind when they die.
