Deep Neural Networks Achieve Optimal Generalization Rates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Two new papers submitted to arXiv analyze the generalization performance of gradient descent methods in deep neural networks. The research establishes minimax-optimal rates for excess population risk in deep ReLU networks trained with GD and SGD, provided the network width scales appropriately with depth and sample size. These findings suggest that deep neural networks, with sufficient width, can achieve generalization rates comparable to kernel methods. AI

IMPACT Establishes theoretical underpinnings for deep learning generalization, potentially guiding future model development and analysis.
