We use topological methods to study complexity of deep computations and limit computations. We use topology of function spaces, specifically, the classification Rosenthal compacta, to identify new complexity classes. We use the language of…

Some examples are easier for humans to classify than others. The same should be true for deep neural networks (DNNs). We use the term example perplexity to refer to the level of difficulty of classifying an example. In this paper, we…

When a problem has more than one solution, it is often important, depending on the underlying context, to enumerate (i.e., to list) them all. Even when the enumeration can be done in polynomial delay, that is, spending no more than…
