A new framework has been developed to analyze the limitations of standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for multi-index models, which are functions dependent on low-dimensional projections of input data. This research moves beyond the traditional Statistical Queries (SQ) framework, addressing its shortcomings such as reliance on adversarial noise and the need for algorithmic modifications. The developed framework is applicable to a wide range of architectures, including potentially deep neural networks, and offers a more accurate understanding of SGD's performance limits in complex learning scenarios.
