Finite probe sets identify neural networks, but hidden activations make them far more informative

The authors prove when finite probes guarantee identifiability and universality, and show that hidden-layer responses power a state-of-the-art model, HiddenProbe.

The authors study probing, a paradigm in which a neural network is represented by its responses to a finite set of probe inputs rather than by its raw parameters.

In one line

Finite probes suffice to identify and universally approximate neural functionals, with hidden probes being more informative.
