Title: Exploring the Function Space of Deep-Learning Machines,
Abstract: The function space of deep-learning machines is investigated by studying
growth in the entropy of functions of a given error with respect to a reference
function, realized by a deep-learning machine. Using physics-inspired methods
we study both sparsely and densely-connected architectures to discover a
layer-wise convergence of candidate functions, marked by a corresponding
reduction in entropy when approaching the reference function, gain insight into
the importance of having a large number of layers, and observe phase
transitions as the error increases.
