Pointwise Generalization in Deep Neural Networks
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The paper introduces a pointwise generalization theory for fully connected deep neural networks, using a pointwise Riemannian Dimension derived from eigenvalues of learned feature representations across layers. This framework provides hypothesis-dependent, representation-aware generalization bounds that are significantly tighter than traditional size- or norm-based approaches, both theoretically and experimentally. The authors analytically identify structural properties that explain deep networks’ tractability and empirically show that the pointwise Riemannian Dimension captures feature compression, over‑parameterization effects, and optimizer bias.
