• Title: Collaboration between parallel connected neural networks -- A possible criterion for distinguishing artificial neural networks from natural organs
• Authors: Guang Ping He
• Abstract summary: We show that when artificial neural networks are connected in parallel and trained together, they display the following properties. These properties are unlikely for natural biological sense organs. We further show that when serving as the activation function, the ReLU function can make an artificial neural network more bionic than the sigmoid and Tanh functions do.

• Abstract: We find experimentally that when artificial neural networks are connected in parallel and trained together, they display the following properties. (i) When the parallel-connected neural network (PNN) is optimized, each sub-network in the connection is not optimized. (ii) The contribution of an inferior sub-network to the whole PNN can be on par with that of the superior sub-network. (iii) The PNN can output the correct result even when all sub-networks give incorrect results. These properties are unlikely for natural biological sense organs. Therefore, they could serve as a simple yet effective criterion for measuring the bionic level of neural networks. With this criterion, we further show that when serving as the activation function, the ReLU function can make an artificial neural network more bionic than the sigmoid and Tanh functions do.

  We present a counterexample to the Linear Representation Hypothesis (LRH) When trained to repeat an input token sequence, neural networks learn to represent the token at each position with a particular order of magnitude, rather than a direction. These findings strongly indicate that interpretability research should not be confined to the LRH.

We prove their equivalence to the kernel regression predictor with the associated NTK, which expands the application scope of NTK.
