arXiv:2605.25541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks encode inputs as high-dimensional vectors, known as representations, that capture how models process data by encoding task-relevant structure and semantics. Representation alignment refers to the degree to which different models, layers, or training conditions produce similar representations for the same inputs, with important implications for model interpretation, selection, and robustness analysis. Existing approaches to measure alignment primarily rely on geometric properties, such as neighborhood and cluster similarity, offe
The increasing complexity and opacity of neural networks necessitates advanced tools for interpretation and validation, driving research into representation alignment techniques.
Improved representation alignment methods enhance model interpretability, selection, and robustness, crucial for deploying reliable and trustworthy AI systems across sensitive applications.
This research introduces a topology-aware approach to understanding how different AI models process data, moving beyond purely geometric similarity measures.
