Platonic Projection Structures: Operator-Induced Observability in Representation Learning
Kazuo Ishii, Bishnu Prasad Gautam, Jieling Wu, Javaid Saher
We characterize observability in representation learning through Platonic Projection Structures (PPS), an operator-theoretic framework for analyzing representation accessibility under partial observation. Rather than treating observable outputs as direct reflections of latent rep…
