New algorithms for learning positive ReLU networks under Gaussian inputs

Researchers have developed polynomial-time algorithms for learning positive ReLU networks, specifically addressing scenarios with standard Gaussian inputs. The algorithms achieve polynomial sample and real-arithmetic complexity without requiring separation or conditioning assumptions on hidden directions. The work combines implicit Hermite moments, orthogonal tensor-train compression, and a direction decoder to bound the probability of returning a direction far from any atom. This research also establishes projective direction recovery and confidence amplification with sample complexity proportional to the logarithm of the reciprocal failure probability. AI
