Upper Bounds for Local Learning Coefficients of Three-Layer Neural Networks

arXiv:2603. 12785v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Three-layer neural networks are known to form singular learning models, and their Bayesian asymptotic behavior is governed by the learning coefficient, or real log canonical threshold.

Approximation of Analytic Functions by ReLU Neural Networks with Adjustable Depth and Width

arXiv:2607. 10589v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In contrast to most studies on neural network approximation theory that characterize results through a single parameter, such as the total number of network parameters, \cite{shen2020deep} pioneered the characterization of approximation rates as a joint function of the width parameter $N$ and the depth parameter $L$, thereby granting greater architectural flexibility.

A Functional-Space Mean-Field Theory of Partially-Trained Three-Layer Neural Networks

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.

The Hamilton-Jacobi Theory of Deep Learning

arXiv:2605. 28983v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, training a neural network is identified, exactly, as a search through Hamilton--Jacobi initial-value problems: each gradient step selects the initial data of a viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equation whose Hopf--Cole propagator best fits the observations; at inference, the input is the spatial point at which that solution is evaluated and the initial condition is already encoded in the weights.
