HOPE framework tries to quantify a neuron’s capacity with Hilbert-space math
TheGradient · x · 2026-07-24
The Gradient says it has been working for a year on a framework called HOPE that quantifies the capacity of a neuron.
- The paper aims to rigorously deconstruct what deep networks may have learned.
- The thread frames neurons as operators in a Hilbert-space view, setting up a mathematical treatment for pruning and merging.
- The post links to the paper and presents the work as a formal analysis rather than a product demo.
