Unveiling the Mathematical Bedrock

This section provides a comprehensive literature review addressing the state of knowledge of Lipschitz continuity in deep learning. It covers formal definitions, properties of activation functions and neural networks, Lipschitz analysis of self-attention, and complexity-theoretic generalization bounds. It also explores how Lipschitz continuity serves as a regularization mechanism for improving robustness and generalization capabilities in deep learning systems.

Tracking Lipschitz Evolution During Training

This section investigates how Lipschitz continuity in neural networks evolves over time during training. It includes an operator-theoretic perturbation analysis on how spectral properties of parameter matrices change, and a stochastic dynamic analysis characterizing Lipschitz continuity evolution during training, identifying key deterministic and stochastic driving forces.

Modulating Input Features for Enhanced Robustness

This section explores how Lipschitz continuity modulates frequency signal propagation in neural networks. It presents a Fourier-theoretic analysis to understand how Lipschitz continuity influences frequency signals in image models, and how global robustness can be interpreted through the lens of spectral bias in Lipschitz continuity for robust AI design.

Case Study: Interpreting Image Model Robustness via Spectral Bias

Context: Modern image classifiers, despite high accuracy, are vulnerable to input perturbations. Understanding *why* some models are robust and others are not is a critical challenge.

Challenge: Traditional robustness metrics lack mechanistic interpretability, failing to explain the underlying frequency-domain factors contributing to a model's perturbation sensitivity.

Solution: We introduced I-ASIDE, an axiomatic spectral importance decomposition method, to quantify the predictive power of frequency components in input signals. This linked spectral bias of Lipschitz continuity to global robustness.

Result: Our findings revealed that low-frequency signals are intrinsically more robust, and models trained on them generalize better. I-ASIDE achieved strong correlation with existing robustness metrics while offering clear mechanistic interpretations, guiding the design of more robust vision models.
