Expand Neurons, Not Parameters

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2510.04500v2 Announce Type: replace This work nstrates how increasing the number of neurons in a network without increasing its total number of non-zero parameters improves performance. We show that this gain corresponds with a decrease in interference between multiple features that would otherwise share the same neurons. On symbolic Boolean tasks, splitting each neuron into sparser sub-neurons with knowledge of the clauses systematically reduces polysemanticity metrics and yields higher task accuracy.
