We propose a new approach to the problem of neural network expressivity, which seeks to characterize how structural properties of a neural network family affect the functions it is able to compute. Our approach is based on an interrelated…
Understanding how neural networks learn remains one of the central challenges in machine learning research. From random at the start of training, the weights of a neural network evolve in such a way as to be able to perform a variety of…
A major problem in the study of complex socioeconomic systems is represented by privacy issues$-$that can put severe limitations on the amount of accessible information, forcing to build models on the basis of incomplete knowledge. In this…
Various topological techniques and tools have been applied to neural networks in terms of network complexity, explainability, and performance. One fundamental assumption of this line of research is the existence of a global (Euclidean)…
The network density matrix formalism allows for describing the dynamics of information on top of complex structures and it has been successfully used to analyze from system's robustness to perturbations to coarse graining multilayer…
Network topology plays a key role in many phenomena, from the spreading of diseases to that of financial crises. Whenever the whole structure of a network is unknown, one must resort to reconstruction methods that identify the least biased…
Modeling distributed computing in a way enabling the use of formal methods is a challenge that has been approached from different angles, among which two techniques emerged at the turn of the century: protocol complexes, and directed…
The representations learned by deep neural networks are difficult to interpret in part due to their large parameter space and the complexities introduced by their multi-layer structure. We introduce a method for computing persistent…
Despite significant advances in the field of deep learning in applications to various fields, explaining the inner processes of deep learning models remains an important and open question. The purpose of this article is to describe and…
We study the excess capacity of deep networks in the context of supervised classification. That is, given a capacity measure of the underlying hypothesis class - in our case, empirical Rademacher complexity - to what extent can we (a…
In this work we explore the information processing inside neural networks using logistic regression probes \cite{probes} and the saturation metric \cite{featurespace_saturation}. We show that problem difficulty and neural network capacity…
Recent developments in network neuroscience have highlighted the importance of developing techniques for analyzing and modeling brain networks. A particularly powerful approach for studying complex neural systems is to formulate generative…
A fundamental problem in studying and modeling economic and financial systems is represented by privacy issues, which put severe limitations on the amount of accessible information. Here we introduce a novel, highly nontrivial method to…
While the majority of approaches to the characterization of complex networks has relied on measurements considering only the immediate neighborhood of each network node, valuable information about the network topological properties can be…
Most complex systems can be captured by graphs or networks. Networks connect nodes (e.g.\ neurons) through edges (synapses), thus summarizing the system's structure. A popular way of interrogating graphs is community detection, which…
Successful training of convolutional neural networks is often associated with sufficiently deep architectures composed of high amounts of features. These networks typically rely on a variety of regularization and pruning techniques to…
We design and analyze a new paradigm for building supervised learning networks, driven only by local optimization rules without relying on a global error function. Traditional neural networks with a fixed topology are made up of identical…
The information conveyed by a hierarchical attractor neural network is examined. The network learns sets of correlated patterns (the examples) in the lowest level of the hierarchical tree and can categorize them at the upper levels. A way…
Networks offer a powerful approach to modeling complex systems by representing the underlying set of pairwise interactions. Link prediction is the task that predicts links of a network that are not directly visible, with profound…
The influence of deep learning is continuously expanding across different domains, and its new applications are ubiquitous. The question of neural network design thus increases in importance, as traditional empirical approaches are reaching…
