In biological evolution complex neural structures grow from a handful of cellular ingredients. As genomes in nature are bounded in size, this complexity is achieved by a growth process where cells communicate locally to decide whether to…

Bias formation in deep neural networks (DNNs) remains a critical yet poorly understood challenge, influencing both fairness and reliability in artificial intelligence systems. Inspired by the human visual system, which decouples object…

Our theoretical understanding of deep learning has not kept pace with its empirical success. While network architecture is known to be critical, we do not yet understand its effect on learned representations and network behavior, or how…

Deep neural networks can approximate functions on different types of data, from images to graphs, with varied underlying structure. This underlying structure can be viewed as the geometry of the data manifold. By extending recent advances…
