Feynman Diagrams Used to Calculate Finite-Width Neural Network Kernel Corrections

Researchers have developed a novel method using Feynman diagrams to compute finite-width corrections to neural tangent kernels (NTKs). This approach simplifies algebraic manipulations and enables layer-wise recursion relations for predicting training dynamics at the leading order. The framework has been demonstrated to extend stability results for deep networks and confirm the absence of finite-width corrections for scale-invariant nonlinearities like ReLU on the Gram matrix diagonal. Numerical implementations show that these corrections align with sampled neural network statistics for widths greater than approximately 20. AI

    Finite-Width Neural Tangent Kernels from Feynman Diagrams

    arXiv:2508.11522v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural tangent kernels (NTKs) are a powerful tool for analyzing deep, non-linear neural networks. In the infinite-width limit, NTKs can easily be computed for most common architectures, yielding full analytic control over the tr…
