Expressivity of congruence-based architectures for DNNs on positive-definite matrices

This work studies neural architectures for classifying symmetric positive-definite matrices, focusing on congruence-like layers, in which the input matrix is multiplied on the left and right by a (possibly rectangular) weight matrix $W$ and its transpose. Such layers lie at the core of the celebrated SPDNet and have also been employed independently for dimensionality reduction on positive-definite data.

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.

On the Principles of Deep Feedforward ReLU Networks

arXiv:2607. 07035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The architecture of deep feedforward neural networks is ubiquitous in deep learning, either as a whole system or as a subnetwork of other architectures, and thus its mechanism is a key ingredient of the black box of neural networks.
