arXiv:2607. 07778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj conjectured that, for generic data, any two-layer neural network with $m$ neurons that fits $n$ noisy labels must have Lipschitz constant at least of order $\sqrt{n/m}$, with no restriction on the size of the weights.

arXiv:2607. 04597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study the universal approximation property of residual neural networks, and obtain some new results.
The paper proves that several decision and approximation problems for ReLU neural networks are computationally hard. For any number of layers λ≥2, deciding whether a network’s output is positive (and thus whether it is surjective) is W[ℓ−1]-hard when parameterized by the input dimension d. In particular, for two-layer networks, the related geometric problem of zonotope non‑containment is W[1]-hard in the ambient dimension, and computing or approximating the Lp‑Lipschitz constant is NP‑hard and W[ℓ−1]-hard with respect to d. The results also show that these problems remain hard when parameterized by the number of layers for constant d, implying that naive enumeration algorithms running in n^{(ℓ−1)d}·poly(N) time are essentially optimal under the Exponential Time Hypothesis.

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.
