The Importance of Phase in Neural Representations: An Internal Oppenheim-Lim Test of Image Classifiers
Authors: Alper Yıldırım Published: 2026-06-15
Oppenheim and Lim (1981) showed that natural images stay recognizable when reconstructed from their Fourier phase alone, while the magnitude carries little of their identity. We ask whether trained image classifiers reproduce this asymmetry inside their hidden layers, and we test it causally: given
