We study the first gradient descent step on the first-layer parameters $\boldsymbol {W} $ in a
two-layer neural network: $ f (\boldsymbol {x})=\frac {1}{\sqrt {N}}\boldsymbol {a}^\top\sigma …

Consider supervised learning from iid samples {(y_i, x_i)} _ {i≤ n} where x_i∈ R_p are
feature vectors and y_i∈ R are labels. We study empirical risk minimization over a class of …

Of theories for why large-scale machine learning models generalize despite being vastly
overparameterized, which of their assumptions are needed to capture the qualitative …

We prove a universality theorem for learning with random features. Our result shows that, in
terms of training and generalization errors, a random feature model with a nonlinear …

Despite the practical success of deep neural networks, a comprehensive theoretical
framework that can predict practically relevant scores, such as the test accuracy, from …

We analyze feature learning in infinite-width neural networks trained with gradient flow
through a self-consistent dynamical field theory. We construct a collection of deterministic …

This manuscript considers the problem of learning a random Gaussian network function
using a fully connected network with frozen intermediate layers and trainable readout layer …

We consider the problem of learning a target function corresponding to a deep, extensive-
width, non-linear neural network with random Gaussian weights. We consider the asymptotic …

We present a simple picture of the training process of self-supervised learning methods with
dual deep networks. In our picture, these methods learn their high-dimensional embeddings …

We investigate theoretically how the features of a two-layer neural network adapt to the
structure of the target function through a few large batch gradient descent steps, leading to …
