We consider fully connected feed-forward deep neural networks (NNs) where weights and biases are independent and identically distributed as symmetric centered stable distributions. Then, we show that the infinite wide limit of the NN, under…

Positive systems describing networks with inherently non-negative states and inputs arise naturally in routing, logistics, and compartmental modelling. We consider problems modelled as positive linear systems in incidence form with linear…

A novel convolution neural network model, abbreviated NL-CNN is proposed, where nonlinear convolution is emulated in a cascade of convolution + nonlinearity layers. The code for its implementation and some trained models are made publicly…

Normalization techniques have become a basic component in modern convolutional neural networks (ConvNets). In particular, many recent works demonstrate that promoting the orthogonality of the weights helps train deep models and improve…

With the increase in data availability, it has been widely demonstrated that neural networks (NN) can capture complex system dynamics precisely in a data-driven manner. However, the architectural complexity and nonlinearity of the NNs make…

We study the use of linear codes for network computing in single-receiver networks with various classes of target functions of the source messages. Such classes include reducible, injective, semi-injective, and linear target functions over…

Several efforts are currently underway to decipher the connectome or parts thereof in a variety of organisms. Ascertaining the detailed physiological properties of all the neurons in these connectomes, however, is out of the scope of such…

A recent line of work has established intriguing connections between the generalization/compression properties of a deep neural network (DNN) model and the so-called layer weights' stable ranks. Intuitively, the latter are indicators of the…

This paper studies the problem of controlling complex networks, that is, the joint problem of selecting a set of control nodes and of designing a control input to steer a network to a target state. For this problem (i) we propose a metric…

This paper examines the memory capacity of generalized neural networks. Hopfield networks trained with a variety of learning techniques are investigated for their capacity both for binary and non-binary alphabets. It is shown that the…

Compressing neural nets is an active research problem, given the large size of state-of-the-art nets for tasks such as object recognition, and the computational limits imposed by mobile devices. We give a general formulation of model…

We present experiments demonstrating that some other form of capacity control, different from network size, plays a central role in learning multilayer feed-forward networks. We argue, partially through analogy to matrix factorization, that…

In this paper we present a foundational study on a constrained method that defines learning problems with Neural Networks in the context of the principle of least cognitive action, which very much resembles the principle of least action in…

This paper studies the design of neural network (NN)-based controllers for unknown nonlinear systems, using contraction analysis. A Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (NODE) system is constructed by approximating the unknown draft…

In this paper, feedforward neural networks are presented that have nonlinear weight functions based on look--up tables, that are specially smoothed in a regularization called the diffusion. The idea of such a type of networks is based on…

Designing neural network architectures is a task that lies somewhere between science and art. For a given task, some architectures are eventually preferred over others, based on a mix of intuition, experience, experimentation and luck. For…

Classical results on the statistical complexity of linear models have commonly identified the norm of the weights $\|w\|$ as a fundamental capacity measure. Generalizations of this measure to the setting of deep networks have been varied,…

We present a unified analytical framework within which power control, rate allocation, routing, and congestion control for wireless networks can be optimized in a coherent and integrated manner. We consider a multi-commodity flow model with…

Deep convolutional network has been the state-of-the-art approach for a wide variety of tasks over the last few years. Its successes have, in many cases, turned it into the default model in quite a few domains. In this work, we will…
