Positional Encodings Anchor Spatial Structure in Vision Transformers: A Geometric Perspective on Robustness

arXiv:2606. 00124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Positional embeddings (PEs) in Vision Transformers (ViTs) are known to impact performance and robustness, but their role in shaping internal spatial representations is not well understood.

Geometric Stability: The Missing Axis of Representations

arXiv:2601. 09173v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Representational similarity analysis and related methods compare the internal geometries of neural networks, but they measure only alignment between spaces, leaving a blind spot -- whether a representation's structure is reliably recoverable, not merely similar.
