SGD Learns k-Juntas Efficiently with Temporal Correlations

Researchers have demonstrated that temporal correlations in data can significantly improve the efficiency of gradient-based learning methods for specific sparse problems. By using samples generated from a random walk on a hypercube, a two-layer ReLU network trained with a temporal-difference loss can learn Boolean k-juntas effectively. This approach achieves nearly linear sample complexity with respect to the ambient dimension, a notable improvement over standard methods that struggle with independent samples. AI
