Do Latent Representations of Deep Visual Architectures Follow the Population Manifold Hypothesis of the Primate AIT Cortex?
In computational neuroscience, the statistical nature of primate visual responses has long served as a benchmark for efficient coding. Specifically, previous works demonstrated that in the primate Anterior Inferotemporal (AIT) cortex, population sparseness $(S_{p})$ significantly exceeds single-neuron sparseness $\left...
