• Abstract: Polynomial neural networks have been implemented in a range of applications and present an advantageous framework for theoretical machine learning. A polynomial neural network of fixed architecture and activation degree gives an algebraic map from the network's weights to a set of polynomials. The image of this map is the space of functions representable by the network. Its Zariski closure is an affine variety known as a neurovariety. The dimension of a polynomial neural network's neurovariety provides a measure of its expressivity. In this work, we introduce the notion of the activation threshold of a network architecture which expresses when the dimension of a neurovariety achieves its theoretical maximum. In addition, we prove expressiveness results for polynomial neural networks with equi-width~architectures.

• Addressing caveats of neural persistence with deep graph persistence [54.424983583720675]
  We find that the variance of network weights and spatial concentration of large weights are the main factors that impact neural persistence. We propose an extension of the filtration underlying neural persistence to the whole neural network instead of single layers. This yields our deep graph persistence measure, which implicitly incorporates persistent paths through the network and alleviates variance-related issues.
