Comparing Similarity Structures
Aim:
- one can first measure the similarity between every pair of examples in each representation separately, and then compare the similarity structures.
invariance properties of similarity indexes 分为三个方面
1. Invariance to Invertible Linear Transformation
定义:A similarity index is invariant to invertible linear transformation if s(X, Y ) = s(XA, Y B) for any full rank A and B.
Key sentence:
- We demonstrate that early layers, but not later layers, learn similar representations on different datasets.
- Invariance to invertible linear transformation implies that the scale of directions in activation space is irrelevant.
- Neural networks trained from different random initializations develop representations with similar large principal components 不同初始化得到的主要参数是相似的。因此基于主要参数得到的不同网络间的相似性度量(如欧氏距离)的相似的。A similarity index that is invariant to invertible linear transformation ignores this aspect of the representation, and assigns the same score to networks that match only in large principal components or networks that match only in small principal components.
2. Invariance to Orthogonal Transformation
