New research analyzes neural network training dynamics in high dimensions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper published on arXiv analyzes the high-dimensional training dynamics of shallow neural networks with quadratic activation functions. The study focuses on the extensive-width regime, where network width scales with input dimension, and uses dynamical mean-field theory to characterize gradient flow. The findings offer quantitative insights into how overparameterization affects learning and generalization, revealing a double descent phenomenon in the presence of label noise and providing an exact expression for the perfect recovery threshold under l2-regularization.

    High-Dimensional Analysis of Gradient Flow for Extensive-Width Quadratic Neural Networks

    arXiv:2601.10483v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the high-dimensional training dynamics of a shallow neural network with quadratic activation in a teacher-student setup. We focus on the extensive-width regime, where the teacher and student network widths scale p…
