BIRDNet: Mining and Encoding Boolean Implication Knowledge Graphs as Interpretable Deep Neural Networks

BIRDNet is a neural network that mines Boolean implication relationships (BIRs) from tabular data and encodes them as a sparse, interpretable architecture where each hidden unit represents a mined rule connecting two features. The design yields a model that is at most 2/d of the weights active per layer and retains symbolic identities for each unit, allowing direct rule extraction without surrogate models. Experiments on six transcriptomic and proteomic datasets show BIRDNet achieves AUROC within 0.02 of the best dense baseline while using up to 95× fewer active parameters, and its first‑layer rules align with known biological signatures.

Rethinking Likelihood distributions: Student's t Likelihood Boosts Bayesian Neural Network Performance

arXiv:2607. 25376v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Bayesian neural networks (BNNs), variational inference is a widely adopted framework for modeling uncertainty in a distributional way, with the evidence lower bound (ELBO) serving as the standard objective function.
