Spectral Higher-Order Neural Networks Have Sharp Expressivity Bounds

Gianluca Peri, Diego Febbe, Duccio Fanelli

Neural hypergraphs are a natural generalization of neural networks, the reference models in modern machine learning. Yet, their deployment has proven demanding: the number of weighted hyperedges required leads to an intractable parameter explosion. However, a novel parametrization that leverages spectral attributes for neural hypergraphs has been recently proposed, that enables to recycle parameters via a weight sharing scheme and consequently yields a significant reduction of the associated computational cost. Preliminary tests carried out on spectral higher-order architectures pointed to meaningful improvements in both performance and interpretability. Building on these results, we advance the benchmarking efforts by evaluating the spectral higher order framework on N-bit parity tasks, a well-established testbed known to be particularly challenging. As we will convincingly argue, Spectral Higher-Order Neural Networks (SHONNs) possess a versatile and highly tunable hypothesis space.

Implicit Machine Learning Force Fields Accelerate Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Johannes Maeß, Leon Werner, J. Thorben Frank, Winfried Ripken, Martin Michajlow, Joshua Futterer, et al.

We introduce implicit machine learning force fields (I-MLFFs), which replace explicit stacks of neural network layers with self-consistent fixed-point equations. In molecular simulations, this formulation enables intermediate representations to be reused across successive timeste…
