• Abstract summary: We propose a new method to probe the learning mechanism of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) by perturbing the system using Noise Injection Nodes (NINs) We find that the system displays distinct phases during training, dictated by the scale of injected noise. In some cases, the evolution of the noise nodes is similar to that of the unperturbed loss, thus indicating the possibility of using NINs to learn more about the full system in the future.

• Abstract: We propose a new method to probe the learning mechanism of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) by perturbing the system using Noise Injection Nodes (NINs). These nodes inject uncorrelated noise via additional optimizable weights to existing feed-forward network architectures, without changing the optimization algorithm. We find that the system displays distinct phases during training, dictated by the scale of injected noise. We first derive expressions for the dynamics of the network and utilize a simple linear model as a test case. We find that in some cases, the evolution of the noise nodes is similar to that of the unperturbed loss, thus indicating the possibility of using NINs to learn more about the full system in the future.

  We focus on the so-called implicit effect' of GNIs, which is the effect of the injected noise on the dynamics of gradient descent (SGD) We show that this effect induces an asymmetric heavy-tailed noise on gradient updates. We then formally prove that GNIs induce an implicit bias', which varies depending on the heaviness of the tails and the level of asymmetry.

  We propose a graph network layer, known as Node2Seq, to learn node embeddings with explicitly trainable weights for different neighboring nodes. For a target node, our method sorts its neighboring nodes via attention mechanism and then employs 1D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enable explicit weights for information aggregation. In addition, we propose to incorporate non-local information for feature learning in an adaptive manner based on the attention scores.
