Toric geometry of ReLU neural networks

2025-09-07 · Yaoying Fu arxiv

Given a continuous finitely piecewise linear function $f:\mathbb{R}^{n_0} \to \mathbb{R}$ and a fixed architecture $(n_0,\ldots,n_k;1)$ of feedforward ReLU neural networks, the exact function realization problem is to determine when some network with the given architecture realizes $f$. To develop a systematic way to answer these questions, we establish a connection between toric geometry and ReLU neural networks. This approach enables us to utilize numerous structures and tools from algebraic geometry to study ReLU neural networks. Starting with an unbiased ReLU neural network with rational weights, we define the ReLU fan, the ReLU toric variety, and the ReLU Cartier divisor associated with the network. This work also reveals the connection between the tropical geometry and the toric geometry of ReLU neural networks. As an application of the toric geometry framework, we prove a necessary and sufficient criterion of functions realizable by unbiased shallow ReLU neural networks by computing intersection numbers of the ReLU Cartier divisor and torus-invariant curves.

Convex Geometry of ReLU-layers, Injectivity on the Ball and Local Reconstruction

2023-07-18 · Daniel Haider, Martin Ehler, Peter Balazs

The paper uses a frame-theoretic setting to study the injectivity of a ReLU-layer on the closed ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and its non-negative part. In particular, the interplay between the radius of the ball and the bias v…

Task structure and nonlinearity jointly determine learned representational geometry

2024-01-24 · Matteo Alleman, Jack W Lindsey, Stefano Fusi

The utility of a learned neural representation depends on how well its geometry supports performance in downstream tasks. This geometry depends on the structure of the inputs, the structure of the target outputs, and the…

The Real Tropical Geometry of Neural Networks

2024-03-18 · Marie-Charlotte Brandenburg, Georg Loho, Guido Montúfar

We consider a binary classifier defined as the sign of a tropical rational function, that is, as the difference of two convex piecewise linear functions. The parameter space of ReLU neural networks is contained as a semi…
