Given a square matrix B' over a (commutative) ring S, the null ideal N_0(B') is the ideal consisting of all polynomials f in S[X] for which f(B')=0. In the case that S=R/J is the residue class ring of a ring R modulo an ideal J, we can equivalently study the so-called J-ideals

N_J(B) =  { f in  R[X]  |  f(B) in M_n(J) }

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are often used for text classification due to their high accuracy. However, DNNs can be computationally intensive, requiring millions of parameters and large amounts of labeled data, which can make them expensive to use, to optimize, and to transfer to out-of-distributed (OOD) cases in practice.
