Approximation and gradient descent training with neural networks

摘要

It is well understood that neural networks with carefully hand-picked weights provide powerful function approximation and that they can be successfully trained in over-parametrized regimes. Since over-parametrization ensures zero training error, these two theories are not immediately compatible. Recent work uses the smoothness that is required for approximation results to extend a neural tangent kernel (NTK) optimization argument to an under-parametrized regime and show direct approximation bounds for networks trained by gradient flow. Since gradient flow is only an idealization of a practical method, this paper establishes analogous results for networks trained by gradient descent.
