@annhuang42.bsky.socialNew preprint out (first from my new group!) 🚨 "Predictive Grid Cell Coding Does Not Require Explicit Planning" biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/
Show Post📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2609.38081 🌐 Page: ann-huang-0.github.io/Hessian-null... 💻 Code: github.com/Ann-Huang-0/hessian-null-space-continuation w/ my awesome team 🌟 @neurostrow.bsky.social, @hansonlu.bsky.social @wtredman.bsky.social, @leokoz8.bsky.social, @kanakarajanphd.bsky.social (12/12)
Show PostSuper excited about this new work from @annhuang42.bsky.social! We developed a method for identifying different solutions to a task in neural networks of all types by walking along the flat directions of the loss landscape. Doing so revealed a ton of hidden solutions nearby in weight space!
Show PostOur new method, Hessian Null Space Continuation (HNC)! Around any trained network there is a large connected set of weights that compute nearly the same function. HNC walks through this set along flat directions of the Hessian. 1/3
Show PostReally exciting work from @annhuang42.bsky.social that was a lot of fun to be a part of! Recent work has revived the interest in finding “diverse solutions” - i.e. DNNs that perform similarly on the same task but do so with very different internal representations 1/3
