We\u0000observe that different input images with similar predictions are generally\u0000connected, and for trained models, the path tends to be simple, with only a\u0000small deviation from being a linear path. Our methodology utilizes real,\u0000interpolated, and synthetic inputs created using the input optimization\u0000technique for feature visualization. We conjecture that input space mode\u0000connectivity in high-dimensional spaces is a geometric effect that takes place\u0000even in untrained models and can be explained through percolation theory.
