Second moments

Statistical moments capturing pairwise feature co-occurrence patterns; the core insight is that second moments preserve structure that first moments destroy.

  • Geometry of features

    Research thread within About Blank concerning the structure and relational properties of neural network feature representations; covariance pooling tangentially supports this thread.
  • Feature co-occurrence
    associated_with
    Patterns of which features activate together across tokens; preserved by covariance pooling but lost in mean pooling.

    Statistical moments capturing per-feature central tendency; the paper argues first-moment pooling (mean pooling) destroys joint activation structure.
