What the math gives to ML
The paper derives sharp weighted Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and stability deficits on half-spaces and orthants. Their transferable asset is a scale-aware relation between weighted feature magnitude and weighted input sensitivity, with explicit extremal structure and deficit measurements. A neural-network adaptation is to regularize intermediate features whose responses are excessively concentrated in input space or require large Jacobians. The resulting penalty is distinct from ordinary weight decay because it controls the joint geometry of activations and input derivatives.

Apply a weighted Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg deficit to selected intermediate feature channels. The penalty discourages features that obtain large weighted responses only by becoming sharply localized or highly sensitive to small input perturbations. It can be evaluated with input-Jacobian estimates and added to the ordinary task loss.
