ReLU Activation's Impact on Gradient Descent Bias in Neural Networks Detailed

A new research paper explores how the ReLU activation function influences the implicit bias of gradient descent in high-dimensional neural network regression. The study, using a novel primal-dual analysis, demonstrates that for sufficiently high-dimensional random data, the implicit bias approximates the minimum $\ell_2$-norm solution. This approximation is achieved with high probability, with a gap on the order of $\Theta(\sqrt{n/||\lambda||_1})$, where $n$ is the number of training examples and $\lambda$ represents the spectrum of the data covariance matrix. The findings indicate that the ReLU activation pattern quickly stabilizes under these conditions. AI

    How Does the ReLU Activation Affect the Implicit Bias of Gradient Descent on High-dimensional Neural Network Regression?

    arXiv:2603.04895v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Overparameterized ML models, including neural networks, typically induce underdetermined training objectives with multiple global minima. The implicit bias refers to the limiting global minimum that is attained by a common…
