A Geometric Measure of Linear Separability for Neural Representations

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 08721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern neural classifiers commonly rely on linear readouts, yet predictive metrics alone do not characterize the class-wise geometry of the representations on which such readouts operate.

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.
