Dynamic neurons: A statistical physics approach for analyzing deep neural networks
<|reference_start|>Dynamic neurons: A statistical physics approach for analyzing deep neural networks: Deep neural network architectures often consist of repetitive structural elements. We introduce a new approach that reveals these patterns and can be broadly applied to the study of deep learning. Similar to how a power strip helps untangle and organize complex cable connections, this approach treats neurons as additional degrees of freedom in interactions, simplifying the structure and enhancing the intuitive understanding of interactions within deep neural networks. Furthermore, it reveals the translational symmetry of deep neural networks, which simplifies the application of the renormalization group transformation - a method that effectively analyzes the scaling behavior of the system. By utilizing translational symmetry and renormalization group transformations, we can analyze critical phenomena. This approach may open new avenues for studying deep neural networks using statistical physics.<|reference_end|>
