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.

arXiv:2606. 11911v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistence diagrams are common representations in topological data analysis, but they do not naturally live in a vector space, and the statistical tools developed for comparing them have largely evolved separately from those used for downstream prediction.

The paper studies how transformer representations evolve across layers by examining the intrinsic dimensionality (ID) of token embeddings and their neighborhood structures. It finds that closed‑class tokens expand and collapse earlier than open‑class tokens, and that these changes are linked to shifts in local geometry. The authors compare encoder and decoder models, showing distinct layer‑wise behaviors, and demonstrate that geometric features alone can predict a token’s part‑of‑speech and reveal how semantic content changes across layers.
