The paper investigates the simplification properties of neural networks under varying hyperparameter configurations, focusing on Lempel Ziv complexity and sensitivity. By tweaking activation functions, hidden layers, and learning rates, the study assesses how these parameters affect network outputs’ complexity and robustness to input perturbations. The experiments utilize the MNIST dataset to explore relationships between hyperparameters, complexity, and sensitivity, enhancing our theoretical understanding of neural networks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper looks at how changing some settings in neural networks affects how simple or complex their answers are, and how well they can handle small changes in the data they’re given. By trying out different combinations of these settings, like using different math functions to figure out what’s important or adding more layers to learn from, researchers want to understand how these choices affect the results. They used a special dataset called MNIST to test their ideas and see if it can help us better understand neural networks.
