The Polytopal Neural Network
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.12004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how deep neural networks process information remains a central challenge. Existing interpretability methods often compromise structural fidelity, rely on prespecified corpora, or explain models post-hoc. We propose Polytopal Neural Networks (PNNs), a framework that extracts distinct layer-wise aspects by enforcing a polytope-based structure that is used directly in subsequent information processing. We scale our approach using learned corpus representations and an amortized simplex inference procedure and highlight how the framewo
