contents The great success of deep learning has stimulated avid research activities in verifying the power of depth in theory, a common consensus of which is that deep net are versatile in approximating and learning numerous functions. Such a versatility certainly enhances the understanding of the power of depth, but makes it difficult to judge which data features are crucial in a specific learning task. This paper proposes a constructive approach to equip deep nets for the feature qualification purpose. Using the product-gate nature and localized approximation property of deep nets with sigmoid activation (deep sigmoid nets), we succeed in constructing a linear deep net operator that possesses optimal approximation performance in approximating smooth and radial functions. Furthermore, we provide theoretical evidences that the constructed deep net operator is capable of qualifying multiple features such as the smoothness and radialness of the target functions.
