What the math gives to ML

The paper gives a reversed weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality in the sublinear regime, where a nonlocal interaction is bounded below by the product of two quasi-norms. This can be transferred into a representation regularizer for nonnegative feature maps: it rewards distributed cross-view or cross-branch interaction and may reduce spatial feature collapse. The most practical implementation is a low-resolution kernel computation on feature grids, using a scale-normalized interaction ratio. The Euler-Lagrange system further suggests coupled fractional-potential modules, but the inequality itself offers the clearest first experiment.

Reverse-HLS Feature Dispersion Regularizer

Apply the paper's reversed weighted interaction inequality to two nonnegative feature maps generated from different augmentations or network branches. Maximizing the normalized nonlocal interaction should discourage collapsed or overly concentrated spatial representations while remaining invariant to overall feature amplitude.
