| 2025 | Discovering a Zero (Zero-Vector Class of Machine Learning)abstractIn Machine learning, separating data into classes is a very fundamental problem. A mathematical framework around the classes is presented in this work to deepen the understanding of classes. The classes are defined as vectors in a Vector Space, where addition corresponds to the union of classes, and scalar multiplication resembles set complement of classes. The Zero-Vector in the vector space corresponds to a class referred to as the Metta-Class. This discovery enables numerous applications. One such application, termed 'clear learning' in this work, focuses on learning the true nature (manifold) of the data instead of merely learning a boundary sufficient for classification. Another application, called 'unary class learning', involves learning a single class in isolation rather than learning by comparing two or more classes. Additionally, 'set operations on classes' is another application highlighted in this work. Furthermore, Continual Learning of classes is facilitated by smaller networks. The Metta-Class enables neural networks to learn only the data manifold; therefore, it can also be used for generation of new data. Results for the key applications are shown using the MNIST dataset. To further strengthen the claims, some results are also produced using the CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-1k embeddings. The code supporting these applications is publicly available at: github.com/hm-4/Metta-Class. Harikrishna Metta, Venkatesh Babu Radhakrishnan |
