arXiv:2210. 16286v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: To understand the training dynamics of neural networks, prior studies have considered the mean-field limit of two-layer neural networks as the width tends to infinity, establishing theoretical guarantees for its convergence under gradient flow training as well as approximation and generalization capabilities.
