| contents | Despite the stunning progress recently in large-scale deep neural network applications, our understanding of their microstructure, 'energy' functions, and optimal design remains incomplete. Here, we present a new game-theoretic framework, called statistical teleodynamics, that reveals important insights into these key properties. The optimally robust design of such networks inherently involves computational benefit-cost trade-offs that are not adequately captured by physics-inspired models. These trade-offs occur as neurons and connections compete to increase their effective utilities under resource constraints during training. In a fully trained network, this results in a state of arbitrage equilibrium, where all neurons in a given layer have the same effective utility, and all connections to a given layer have the same effective utility. The equilibrium is characterized by the emergence of two lognormal distributions of connection weights and neuronal output as the universal microstructure of large deep neural networks. We call such a network the Jaynes Machine. Our theoretical predictions are shown to be supported by empirical data from seven large-scale deep neural networks. We also show that the Hopfield network and the Boltzmann Machine are the same special case of the Jaynes Machine. |
