Parameter-space and function-space provide two different duality frames in which to study neural networks. We demonstrate that symmetries of network densities may be determined via dual computations of network correlation functions, even when the density is unknown and the network is not equivariant. Symmetry-via-duality relies on invariance properties of the correlation functions, which stem from the choice of network parameter distributions. Input and output symmetries of neural network densities are determined, which recover known Gaussian process results in the infinite width limit. The mechanism may also be utilized to determine symmetries during training, when parameters are correlated, as well as symmetries of the Neural Tangent Kernel. We demonstrate that the amount of symmetry in the initialization density affects the accuracy of networks trained on Fashion-MNIST, and that symmetry breaking helps only when it is in the direction of ground truth.

  1. Quantitative Understanding of PDF Fits and their Uncertainties

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    After an initial transient, a PDF-fitting neural network's output obeys f_t = U(t) f_0 + V(t) Y, a linear blend of the initial network and the data with explicit time-dependent operators.

  2. Pre-Strings Lectures on Artificial Intelligence

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Lecture notes define neural-network field theory and survey how it recovers known QFT/string results plus applied AI techniques for string problems.

  3. Bulk-boundary decomposition of neural networks

    cs.LG 2025-11 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper reframes SGD training of deep networks as a local Lagrangian with data confined to the boundaries, but the advertised energy continuity equation is absent from the body.

  4. A Tale of Two Compact Bosons

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    By explicitly adding discrete topological sectors to a Gaussian neural sampler, the paper reproduces BKT vortex physics, string T-duality, and an exact compact rotor, demonstrating a template for compact NN-FT.
