A novel empirical investigation of higher-arity phenomenon in trained neural networks is conducted, a hypergraphical generalization of the multilayer perceptron is introduced, and connections to evolutionary algorithms are explored.
Abstract
We provide an expository introduction on the importance of higher-arity tensor operations to deep learning. Then, we conduct a novel empirical investigation of higher-arity phenomenon in trained neural networks, introduce a hypergraphical generalization of the multilayer perceptron, and explore connections to evolutionary algorithms. We conclude with a discussion of promising directions for future research.
This work introduces a new architectural component that embeds structured inductive bias into deep learning: an attention mechanism operating over tensor-product representations (TPRs) that outperforms existing architectural components in combinatorial generalization.

Tensor networks, originally developed for quantum many-body physics, are promising models for machine learning. We derive stochastic Riemannian optimizers for tree tensor networks (TTNs) on both their parameter and quotient manifolds, including adaptive and learning-rate-free schemes suitable for minibatch training. Us...

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have proven to be extremely effective at learning a wide range of tasks. Due to their complexity and inexplicable internal state, DNNs are difficult to analyze. Several attempts to interpret their operation have been made, but analyzing them from the perspective of the knowledge encoded in t...

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
