Mapping the learning curves of deep learning networks.

ABSTRACT: There is an important challenge in systematically interpreting the internal representations of deep neural networks (DNNs). Existing techniques are often less effective for non-tabular tasks, or they primarily focus on qualitative, ad-hoc interpretations of models. In response, this study introduces a cognitive science-inspired, multi-dimensional quantification and visualization approach that captures two temporal dimensions of model learning: the "information-processing trajectory" and the "developmental trajectory." The former represents the influence of incoming signals on an agent's decision-making, while the latter conceptualizes the gradual improvement in an agent's performance throughout its lifespan. Tracking the learning curves of DNNs enables researchers to explicitly identify th
