"We show that backpropagated neural networks trained on a variety of datasets - which could be disjoint and unrelated - diverse hyper-parameter settings, initializations and regularization methods, often learn an architecture-specific, layer-wise similar, low-rank joint subspaces (we refer to this as the Universal Subspace). We provide the first large-scale empirical analysis - across a diverse set of models - that neural networks tend to converge to these joint subspaces, largely independent of their initialization or the specific data used for training."
