arXiv paper: Width and Depth Limits Commute During Training

Researchers have demonstrated that the infinite-width and infinite-depth limits of residual networks commute during the training process, not just at initialization. This commutativity holds for linear residual networks under specific scaling conditions, including the Depth-"mu"P scaling and the $\mu$P width parameterization. The study proves that for a fixed number of gradient-descent steps with gradient clipping, the network output converges in L2 as both width and depth tend to infinity, extending the commutativity result throughout any finite training horizon.

    Width and Depth Limits Commute During Training

    arXiv:2610.30729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work established that the infinite-width and infinite-depth limits of residual networks commute at initialization when residual branches are scaled by $1/\sqrt{depth}$. In particular, the network output converges to the same …
