Title: Representational Alignment Across Model Layers and Brain Regions with Multi-Level Optimal Transport

Abstract:
arXiv:2510.01706v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Standard representational similarity methods align each layer of a network to its best match in another independently, producing asymmetric results, lacking a global alignment score, and struggling with networks of different depths. These limitations arise from ignoring global activation structure and restricting mappings to rigid one-to-one layer correspondences. We propose Multi-Level Optimal Transport (MOT), a unified framework that jo
