In a graph, nodes can be characterized locally (with their degree $k$) or globally (e.g. with their average length path $\xi$ to other nodes). Here we investigate how $\xi$ depends on $k$. Our earlier algorithm of the construction of the…
Information propagation characterizes how input correlations evolve across layers in deep neural networks. This framework has been well studied using mean-field theory, which assumes infinitely wide networks. However, these assumptions…

Identifying the brain's neuronal cluster size to be presented as nodes in a network computation is critical to both neuroscience and artificial intelligence, as these define the cognitive blocks required for building intelligent…
Large-scale white matter pathways crisscrossing the cortex create a complex pattern of connectivity that underlies human cognitive function. Generative mechanisms for this architecture have been difficult to identify in part because little…
