Functional Equivalence and Geometric Diversity in Neural Network Approximations: An Empirical Characterization

The Universal Approximation Theorem states that a neural network with a single hidden layer is sufficient to approximate any continuous univariate function on a compact domain to arbitrary error. However, the uniqueness of such neural network representations is not guaranteed, raising questions about practical identifiability.

Beyond Structural Symmetries: Linear Mode Connectivity via Neuron Identifiability

arXiv:2606. 04754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many striking phenomena in deep learning, such as linear mode connectivity and the structured behavior of training dynamics, are closely tied to parameter symmetries: transformations that leave the realized function unchanged.
