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.

Learning rate adaptive stochastic gradient descent optimization methods: numerical simulations for deep learning methods for partial differential equations and convergence analyses

arXiv:2406. 14340v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization method, as well as adaptive methods such as the Adam optimizer fail to converge if the learning rates do not converge to zero (particularly, in the situation of constant learning rates).
