Mean-Field Theoretic Manifold Analysis (MFTMA)

Techniqueadvanced

Replica mean-field theory from statistical physics that predicts a class's linear separability (manifold capacity) directly from three measured geometric properties of its activation cloud — radius, dimension, and inter-class center correlation.
