New bounds established for ReLU NTK Gram matrices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have established tight worst-case bounds for the smallest eigenvalue of ReLU neural tangent kernel (NTK) Gram matrices. The study focuses on unit vectors in a d-dimensional space, averaging pairwise gated inner products over a standard Gaussian direction. The findings provide a universal, dimension-free lower bound of $\Omega(\Delta_\pm/\sqrt{\log n})$ for the smallest eigenvalue, where $\Delta_\pm$ represents the projective separation of the vectors. This bound is shown to be tight, with matching upper bounds constructed for worst-case scenarios. AI

IMPACT This research provides theoretical insights into the behavior of neural tangent kernels, potentially informing the design and understanding of deep learning models.

    Tight Worst-Case Bounds for the Smallest Eigenvalue of ReLU NTK Gram Matrices

    arXiv:2608.03368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For $n$ unit vectors $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$, we study the continuous ReLU derivative Gram matrix $H$, whose entries are obtained by averaging pairwise gated inner products over a standard Gaussian direction. Writing $ \De…
