Knockoffs-based False Discovery Rate Control and Simplification for Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:2606.04404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deep neural network is a widely used framework in machine learning that has been widely applied in various fields. However, deep neural networks often involve a large number of parameters and inputs, many of which may be irrelevant to the goal or true output. These parameters and \textcolor{black}{input variables} not only increase computational complexity, but also contribute to additional computational cost. One solution to this problem is knockoff methods, which have proven successful in controlling false discovery rates in high-dimensio

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of increasingly complex deep neural networks necessitates better methods for managing their computational demands and improving interpretability.

Why it’s important

Controlling false discovery rates and simplifying deep neural networks can lead to more efficient, reliable, and understandable AI systems, reducing computational costs and accelerating deployment.

What changes

This research provides a more robust statistical method for identifying relevant parameters in deep learning, potentially making large models more tractable and less 'black-box'.
