Researchers have analyzed the implicit bias of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in training wide, two-layer ReLU networks for multivariate regression. They found that in a mean-field regime, the training dynamics can be approximated by a Wasserstein gradient flow, which converges to a unique stationary measure. This analysis reveals that even with infinite overparameterization, the learned predictor effectively collapses to a finite representation, with input weights and biases aligning along a limited number of directions. The complexity of the learned predictor is determined by the combinatorial geometry of the training data, specifically the number of linear dichotomies realizable on the inputs. AI
