Understanding Diffusion Models via Ratio-Based Function Approximation with SignReLU Networks

The paper presents a theoretical framework for approximating ratio-type functionals that arise in conditional generative modeling, specifically when the target density is expressed as a ratio of two kernel-based marginal densities. It proves that deep neural networks using the SignReLU activation can approximate these ratios with established L^p(Omega) bounds and convergence rates under standard regularity assumptions. Applying the framework to Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models, the authors construct a SignReLU-based estimator for the reverse process and derive bounds on the excess Kullback–Leibler risk, decomposing it into approximation and estimation errors to provide generalization guarantees for finite-sample training.

Operator-Theoretic Generalization Bounds for Multitask Deep Learning

We develop operator-theoretic generalization bounds for deep multi-output function classes by representing network layers as Koopman composition operators on vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. In vector-valued Sobolev RKHSs, we derive Rademacher complexity bounds for invertible and width-expanding injective architectures.

Resolution-Independent Analysis of Encoder--Decoder Operator Learning via Limiting Kernels

The paper studies operator learning on function spaces using encoder–decoder architectures. It shows that as input and output resolutions grow, the induced kernels converge to a limiting kernel, enabling regularity assumptions independent of resolution. The authors derive upper and lower bounds for regularized stochastic gradient descent, extend the analysis to neural networks via the limiting neural tangent kernel, and provide error bounds and complexity guarantees for various kernel and encoding constructions.
