Separation Power of Equivariant Neural Networks

arXiv:2406. 08966v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The separation power of a machine learning model refers to its ability to distinguish between different inputs and is often used as a proxy for its expressivity.

Reducing Symmetry Increase in Equivariant Neural Networks

Equivariant Neural Networks (ENNs) have empowered numerous applications in scientific fields. Despite their remarkable capacity for representing geometric structures, ENNs suffer from degraded expressivity when processing symmetric inputs: the output representations are invariant to transformations that extend beyond the input's symmetries.

Directional Linear Separability of Neural Representations: Geometry and Transformations

The paper introduces the directional linear separability measure (D‑LSM) to quantify how much linear separability is preserved or improved by injective affine maps in neural networks. It characterizes the geometry supporting D‑LSM, proves its invariance under injective affine embeddings, and derives conditions for gated activations (ReLU, GELU, SiLU) to preserve and recover samples. Experiments validate the theoretical bounds, demonstrate affine‑tube constructions that achieve guaranteed recovery, and apply the method to Vision Transformer representations to obtain early post‑activation separability certificates.
