The Effects of Face Transitions on Neural Networks

In a magnet, you only need an infinitesimally small perturbation to that system in order to point it in a certain direction. And so if you bring this back to neural networks, if the weights are slightly different, the overall model could be like the sepsilon or not. So there are these toy models of superposition studied by anthropic. You can see that the way compresses data involves this kind of symmetry breaking and selects one solution out of phase transition.
