Quantifying the differences between networks is a challenging and ever-present problem in network science. In recent years a multitude of diverse, ad hoc solutions to this problem have been introduced. Here we propose that simple and…

We investigate random feature models in which neural networks sampled from a prescribed initialization ensemble are frozen and used as random features, with only the readout weights optimized. Adopting a statistical-physics viewpoint, we…

We introduce the concept of an \ff-maximal error-detecting block code, for some parameter \ff{} between 0 and 1, in order to formalize the situation where a block code is close to maximal with respect to being error-detecting. Our…
