10.48550/arXiv.2603.28764A novel mathematical framework for analyzing the intrinsic geometry of neural network representations to understand computational mechanisms.
Abstract
Similarity measures are widely used to interpret the representational geometries used by neural networks to solve tasks. Yet, because existing methods compare the extrinsic geometry of representations in state space, rather than their intrinsic geometry, they may fail to capture subtle yet crucial distinctions between fundamentally different neural network solutions. Here, we introduce metric similarity analysis (MSA), a novel method which leverages tools from Riemannian geometry to compare the intrinsic geometry of neural representations under the manifold hypothesis. We show that MSA can be used to i) disentangle features of neural computations in deep networks with different learning regimes, ii) compare nonlinear dynamics, and iii) investigate diffusion models. Hence, we introduce a mathematically grounded and broadly applicable framework to understand the mechanisms behind neural computations by comparing their intrinsic geometries.

MSA distinguishes rich and lazy representations
Explicitly stated in the abstract as a key capability and demonstrated with specific experimental results comparing rich and lazy networks.
partial
MSA provides a principled means of comparing the intrinsic geometries of neural network representations
Directly stated as the core methodological contribution, with explicit contrast to extrinsic methods and evidence showing MSA's superior performance.
partial
it is invariant to the choice of coordinates on the manifold and to rotations in the neural network state space.
Explicitly stated as a mathematical property of MSA, though the full proof is referenced to a later section.
partial
MSA enables the comparison of nonlinear dynamics
Explicitly stated in the abstract and demonstrated with a specific application to dynamical systems models.
partial
MSA, in contrast, found zero similarity in these cases.
Directly stated as a key experimental result comparing MSA to baseline methods.
partial
its non-specificity enables comparison across model classes.
Directly stated as a property of MSA, though the evidence is more conceptual than experimental in the provided excerpt.
partial
SR is a pseudo-distance function on SPD matrices. This means that it satisfies i) separation: dSR(G, G) = 0, ii) symmetry: dSR(G, G′) = dSR(G′, G)and iii) the triangle inequality
Explicitly and formally stated as a mathematical property of the SR.
partial
investigate diffusion models.
Stated in the abstract as a capability, but no specific evidence or results from such an application are provided in the given excerpt.
