Abstract

The authors propose a representation of the linear transformations in deep neural networks in terms of matrix product operators developed in quantum physics. The authors showcase their approach in forward neural networks, where both the fully-connected layers and the entire convolutional layers are transformed to this representation, and show that the prediction accuracy can be reached at the same level by using less free parameters
