A novel framework is proposed to interpret Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) by extending Complex Network Theory (CNT) metrics to account for the effect of input data. This approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of DNNs, moving beyond traditional topological analyses. The extended metrics are applied to various architectures, including Fully Connected, AutoEncoder, Convolutional, and Recurrent neural networks, varying activation functions and hidden layers. The results demonstrate that these metrics can differentiate DNNs based on architecture, number of hidden layers, and activation function, providing insights beyond the input-output relationship and traditional CNT analysis.

This paper helps us better understand how Deep Neural Networks work by using a new method called Complex Network Theory. It looks at how different parts of the network are connected and how this affects what the network does. The authors use this method to study many types of neural networks, including those used for auto-encoding images and recognizing patterns in audio. By analyzing these networks in a new way, we can learn more about what makes them work well or not.
