Researchers have published a paper exploring the global convergence of gradient flow in wide, shallow neural network models, extending beyond previously studied homogeneous nonlinearities. The study, building on prior work, demonstrates that non-global minimizers are unstable in the mean-field gradient flow dynamics for a broader class of models, including those with multi-head attention layers and vector output weights. The findings are conditional on the mean-field gradient flow converging in W2, in which case the limit must be a global minimizer. New constructions are proposed for nonlinearities with linear growth and asymptotically positively one-homogeneous nonlinearities, alongside stability estimates for mean-field dynamics under sub-Gaussian initializations.
