Abstract

In this chapter we shall associate a manifold with each neural network by considering the weights and biasses of a neural network as the coordinate system on the manifold.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A system of parameters for a continuous function defined on [0, 1] is the set of rational numbers \(Q\cap [0,1]\).

  2. 2.

    This is also called the arc length parameter, since it is proportional to the arc length measured along the curve c(s).

  3. 3.

    The Riemannian curvature of a manifold is described by the tensor

    $$R_{ijk}^r = \partial _{\theta _i} \Gamma _{jk}^r - \partial _{\theta _j} \Gamma _{ik}^r + \Gamma _{ih}^r \Gamma _{jk}^h - \Gamma _{jh}^r \Gamma _{ik}^h, $$

    with summation over the repeated indices.

  4. 4.

    This can be easily understood, for instance, if you try to recite the alphabet in the reverse order. The brain builds coadaptations when learning the alphabet in chronological order from A to Z. The difficulty faced when trying to recite the alphabet in the reverse order shows the existence of certain coadaptations formed among neurons during the learning process.

  5. 5.

    The codimension of a submanifold \({\mathcal S}\) of a manifold \({\mathcal M}\) is the difference of their dimensions, \(k = \dim {\mathcal M} - \dim {\mathcal S}\).
