Summary
This study introduces a new Manifold Discovery and Analysis (MDA) method to visualize deep neural network (DNN) features for regression tasks. MDA enables better understanding and improvement of DNN performance in regression applications.
Area of Science:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning
- Computer Vision
Background:
- Deep neural networks (DNNs) extract numerous features for decision-making.
- Visualizing DNN features is crucial for understanding and improving model performance.
- Current visualization methods are limited to classification tasks, not regression.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel conceptual framework and computational method for visualizing DNN features in regression tasks.
- To address the intractability of visualizing high-dimensional feature spaces in regression.
- To enhance the interpretability and reliability of deep learning models in regression applications.
Main Methods:
- Introduced Manifold Discovery and Analysis (MDA) for DNN feature visualization.
- MDA learns manifold topology associated with DNN output and target labels.
- Preserves local geometry of the feature space manifold using topological information.
Main Results:

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...

¹H NMR Signal Multiplicity: Splitting Patterns

When protons A and X are coupled, their nuclear spin energy levels are slightly modified. This is because the energy required to excite proton A to a spin state parallel to proton X is slightly different from the energy required for it to become anti-parallel to spin X. Consequently, there are two possible excitation frequencies for A (A1 and A2), depending on the spin state of X, and vice versa. The mutual nature of coupling implies that the difference between frequencies A1 and A2, indicated...
