New theory explains correlated initialization in deep residual networks

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for understanding the behavior of deep residual networks with correlated initializations across layers. Their work extends previous conjectures, demonstrating that these correlated initializations can continuously transition between different stochastic differential equation models. The study identifies a critical scaling factor and a unique asymptotic limit governed by a Young differential equation driven by a Hermite process, which simplifies to fractional Brownian motion under certain conditions.
