Researchers have developed a theoretical model to understand how correlations within input data, such as spatial correlations in images or text, impact the learning efficiency of shallow neural networks using gradient descent. The model focuses on targets dependent on a few latent Boolean variables and input features grouped into clusters that correlate with these variables. Under specific identifiability conditions, the study demonstrates that the sample complexity can be independent of the input dimension when the signal-to-noise ratio is high, scaling instead with the number of hidden variables.
