论文摘要
我们研究了神经网络的基于规范的统一收敛界限，旨在密切了解它们如何受到规范约束的结构和类型的影响，对于简单的标量价值一类隐藏的一层网络，以及在欧几里得规范中界定的输入。我们首先证明，通常，控制隐藏层重量矩阵的光谱规范不足以获得均匀的收敛保证（与网络宽度无关），而更强的Frobenius Norm Control是足够的，扩展并改善了以前的工作。在证明构造中，我们识别和分析了两个重要的设置，在这些设置中（也许令人惊讶的是）仅光谱规范控制就足够了：首先，当网络的激活函数足够平滑时（结果扩展到更深的网络）；其次，对于某些类型的卷积网络。在后一种情况下，我们研究样品复杂性如何受到参数的影响，例如斑块和斑块整体数量之间的重叠量。
We study norm-based uniform convergence bounds for neural networks, aiming at a tight understanding of how these are affected by the architecture and type of norm constraint, for the simple class of scalar-valued one-hidden-layer networks, and inputs bounded in Euclidean norm. We begin by proving that in general, controlling the spectral norm of the hidden layer weight matrix is insufficient to get uniform convergence guarantees (independent of the network width), while a stronger Frobenius norm control is sufficient, extending and improving on previous work. Motivated by the proof constructions, we identify and analyze two important settings where (perhaps surprisingly) a mere spectral norm control turns out to be sufficient: First, when the network's activation functions are sufficiently smooth (with the result extending to deeper networks); and second, for certain types of convolutional networks. In the latter setting, we study how the sample complexity is additionally affected by parameters such as the amount of overlap between patches and the overall number of patches.
