On the #BiodiversityDay2025 we are honored to support biodiversity conservation in Madagascar. Thanks to @TWAS-@Sissa-Lincei fellowship, @AreaSciencePark and the University of Antananarivo are using AI for monitoring wood exploitation in Madagascar.

Great opportunity last week to teach at the PhD Summer School on self-supervised learning @DTU_compute We discussed how we use geometry to understand LLMs representations with @ansuin Thanks @Tweetteresearch for the invite Slides coming soon😊 #beyondreductionism

Interesting... Are there any references that explain this or similar mechanisms? Thanks!

Honoured to be part of this amazing project! #DPCfam is a great method, and we are just scratching the surface of what it can do. Stay tuned...
We increase protein family annotation of the Unified Human Gastrointestinal Proteome (UHGP) using DPCfam clustering. Nice effort by our PhD Federico Barone @areasciencepark, @elena_tea @ansuin and great collaboration with Marco Punta @CosrLab Preprint: bit.ly/42bV3HY

Hope this long stream of tweets was useful!
Maybe a test would be to repeat the same analysis on artificially generated data with complex and controllable symmetries (we were close to obtaining one, on the other hand the artificial dataset we used in the paper was too small to do such tests properly.)
We cannot say that this really explains what is observed in ImageNet, that has much more complex features than MNIST (such as textures, pose, etc...), but we think this mechanism may be at work also there.
We thought that, in getting rid of the irrelevant feature, the network produced representations, in the first layers, in which the relevant features emerged more prominently, and this resulted in an increase of their intrinsic dimension.
We trained the same architecture used for the original MNIST with the perturbed dataset, and, at the end of training, we noticed that in the first layers the dimensionality grew and reached, in the middle, values similar to the corresponding values in the original MNIST.
(In the limit of infinite stretching the ID becomes 1, because the manifold can be approximated by the straight line whose direction is [1,1,1,...1], since the added luminance is random but equal for all pixels).
