Replace a continuous scalar latent or probability with a stochastic count Y generated by Y|X=x ~ Binomial(n,x), and feed Y/n to the downstream network. Regularize the aggregate count distribution toward the beta-binomial distribution induced by the arcsine input X~Beta(1/2,1/2), while maximizing the mutual information carried by the count. This creates a compact discrete representation with an analytically specified, nonuniform prior that places more mass near the extreme counts without…
Construct a latent layer whose node states are small positive-definite matrices and whose local updates follow a weighted cluster exchange relation rather than an unconstrained affine map. The update is reversible when the old state is retained, while noncommuting matrix products preserve relational structure that scalar cluster variables cannot represent.
Use an approximate decision diagram to select a structured subset of neurons, channels, attention heads, or attention edges when their quadratic interactions are sparse or inverse-sparse. Merge states that agree on a local interaction boundary and accept a tunable epsilon loss in the pruning objective, obtaining a representation whose size is linear in model width for fixed accuracy tolerance.
