Improved Overparametrization Bounds for Global Convergence of SGD for Shallow Neural Networks

Published: 15 Mar 2023, Last Modified: 16 Mar 2023Accepted by TMLREveryoneRevisionsBibTeX
Abstract: We study the overparametrization bounds required for the global convergence of stochastic gradient descent algorithm for a class of one hidden layer feed-forward neural networks equipped with ReLU activation function. We improve the existing state-of-the-art results in terms of the required hidden layer width. We introduce a new proof technique combining nonlinear analysis with properties of random initializations of the network.
