arXiv:2605.25939v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We here study whether training biases can make hidden neurons specialize in minimal one-hidden-layer MLPs, and whether such specialization improves prototype-based reconstruction of the training dataset from the learned weights. We consider Gaussianactivation MLPs of width equal to dataset size and compare three structural losses that respectively encourage coverage of the training samples, separation between neuron-induced prototypes, and low overlap of hidden responses, against the standard fitting baseline. Experiments on uniformly sampled one
The continuous evolution of AI research pushes for deeper understanding of neural network behaviors, leading to this exploration of latent space and specialization in MLPs.
Understanding how minimal neural networks specialize can lead to more efficient, explainable, and robust AI models, crucial for future applications. This research contributes to fundamental AI theory.
This research provides deeper insights into the internal workings of AI models, potentially improving design principles for more transparent and interpretable machine learning systems.
