To move beyond this trade-off, we introduce LAPLEX, a class of exact, trainable (phased) Laplace-kernel operators. A LAPLEX layer is a typically full-rank dense matrix, implicitly defined by learnable coordinate anchors, with FFT-like scaling. Consequently, it supports trainable matrix--vector operations at vector dimensions
The continuous drive for more efficient and scalable machine learning algorithms, particularly in deep learning, necessitates innovations that overcome current computational bottlenecks.
This research outlines a method to significantly improve the efficiency of linear algebra operations in deep learning, potentially making large-scale models more feasible and less resource-intensive.
The introduction of LAPLEX could enable powerful, full-rank dense matrices with FFT-like scaling, offering an alternative to current trade-offs between computational exactness and adaptive geometry.
