Criticality and Deep Learning, Part I: Theory vs. Empirics. (arXiv:1702.08039v1 [cs.AI])

Motivated by the idea that criticality and universality of phase transitions might play a crucial role in achieving and sustaining learning and intelligent behaviour in biological and artificial networks, we analyse a theoretical and a pragmatic experimental set up for critical phenomena in deep learning. On the theoretical side, we use results from statistical physics to carry out critical point calculations in feed-forward/fully connected networks, while on the experimental side we set out to find traces of criticality in deep neural networks. This is our first step in a series of upcoming investigations to map out the relationship between criticality and learning in deep networks.
