Safe Deep Neural Networks

Kyle Michael Matoba

				The capabilities of deep learning systems have advanced much faster than our ability to understand them. Whilst the gains from deep neural networks (DNNs) are significant, they are accompanied by a growing risk and gravity of a bad outcome. This is tr ...

On the number of regions of piecewise linear neural networks

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon

Many feedforward neural networks (NNs) generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) mappings. Specifically, they partition the input domain into regions on which the mapping is affine. The number of these so-called linear regions offers a natural metric ...

Explainable Face Verification via Feature-Guided Gradient Backpropagation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Yuhang Lu, Zewei Xu

Recent years have witnessed significant advance- ment in face recognition (FR) techniques, with their applications widely spread in people’s lives and security-sensitive areas. There is a growing need for reliable interpretations of decisions of such syste ...

Benign Overfitting in Deep Neural Networks under Lazy Training

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu, Zhenyu Zhu

This paper focuses on over-parameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) with ReLU activation functions and proves that when the data distribution is well-separated, DNNs can achieve Bayesoptimal test error for classification while obtaining (nearly) zero-trai ...

From Kernel Methods to Neural Networks: A Unifying Variational Formulation

Michaël Unser

The minimization of a data-fidelity term and an additive regularization functional gives rise to a powerful framework for supervised learning. In this paper, we present a unifying regularization functional that depends on an operator L\documentclass[12pt]{ ...

An exact mapping from ReLU networks to spiking neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Stanislaw Andrzej Wozniak, Ana Stanojevic, Giovanni Cherubini, Angeliki Pantazi

Deep spiking neural networks (SNNs) offer the promise of low-power artificial intelligence. However, training deep SNNs from scratch or converting deep artificial neural networks to SNNs without loss of performance has been a challenge. Here we propose an ...

Deep Learning Generalization with Limited and Noisy Labels

Mahsa Forouzesh

Deep neural networks have become ubiquitous in today's technological landscape, finding their way in a vast array of applications. Deep supervised learning, which relies on large labeled datasets, has been particularly successful in areas such as image cla ...

How deep convolutional neural networks lose spatial information with training

Matthieu Wyart, Leonardo Petrini, Umberto Maria Tomasini, Francesco Cagnetta

A central question of machine learning is how deep nets manage to learn tasks in high dimensions. An appealing hypothesis is that they achieve this feat by building a representation of the data where information irrelevant to the task is lost. For image da ...
