arXiv:2606.04045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Representation learning is often described as preserving the information in an input that is relevant for prediction. This work asks what relevance means for a fixed supervised decision problem. A representation is defined to be Bayes-sufficient for a joint distribution and loss if some prediction head can use it to implement a Bayes-optimal action rule. This makes the target information loss-dependent. In the almost-surely unique Bayes-action case, the relevant object is a Bayes quotient, which identifies inputs that require the same Bayes-optim
This research addresses fundamental challenges in AI representation learning, a crucial step for achieving more robust and efficient AI systems, amidst increasing demand for advanced autonomous capabilities.
Improving representation learning is vital for developing more accurate and less data-hungry AI models, directly impacting the scalability and reliability of future AI applications across various industries.
The definition of 'relevance' in representation learning becomes more precise, potentially leading to more targeted and efficient development of AI systems capable of Bayes-optimal decision-making.
