Sublinearly Structured Deep Neural Networks Achieve Feature Learning Consistency for Compositional Functions

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success on complex machine-learning tasks, yet the theoretical foundations of their performance remain incomplete. From a statistical viewpoint, a natural question is: can DNNs attain feature-learning and prediction consistency comparable to that of classical models?

Image Augmentation as Test Generation for Deep Learning-Based Image Retrieval Systems

The paper reviews 50 image augmentation and generation techniques, categorizing them into ten groups, and conducts a large‑scale empirical study to assess their effectiveness as test generators for embedding‑based image retrieval systems. Using Amazon Titan and OpenCLIP embeddings, the authors evaluate the techniques across four dimensions—embedding‑space similarity, embedding uncertainty, semantic realism, and retrieval failure rate—on CIFAR‑10, ImageNet‑1K, and an industrial dataset. Results show that weather simulation and SaSPA yield the highest uncertainty and failure rates while maintaining realistic visuals, whereas GAN‑based methods produce low realism due to synthetic artifacts.

Improved Automatic Target Recognition in Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery Using Large Deep Neural Networks

The paper investigates Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) in Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery, comparing modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer-based deep neural networks (DNNs). It examines how factors such as network size, architecture, pretraining methods, data augmentation, and regularization influence performance, aiming to identify the highest-performing model and provide a training roadmap for state‑of‑the‑art SAS‑ATR systems.
