Gaussian Universality in Neural Network Dynamics with Generalized Structured Input Distributions

2024-05-01 · Jaeyong Bae, Hawoong Jeong

Bridging the gap between the practical performance of deep learning and its theoretical foundations often involves analyzing neural networks through stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Expanding on previous research that focused on modeling structured inputs under a simple Gaussian setting, we analyze the behavior of a deep learning system trained on inputs modeled as Gaussian mixtures to better simulate more general structured inputs. Through empirical analysis and theoretical investigation, we demonstrate that under certain standardization schemes, the deep learning model converges toward Gaussian setting behavior, even when the input data follow more complex or real-world distributions. This finding exhibits a form of universality in which diverse structured distributions yield results consistent with Gaussian assumptions, which can support the theoretical understanding of deep learning models.

Gaussian Universality of Perceptrons with Random Labels

2022-05-26 · Federica Gerace, Florent Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Ludovic Stephan 외

While classical in many theoretical settings - and in particular in statistical physics-inspired works - the assumption of Gaussian i.i.d. input data is often perceived as a strong limitation in the context of statistics…

Are Gaussian data all you need? Extents and limits of universality in high-dimensional generalized linear estimation

2023-02-17 · Luca Pesce, Florent Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Ludovic Stephan

In this manuscript we consider the problem of generalized linear estimation on Gaussian mixture data with labels given by a single-index model. Our first result is a sharp asymptotic expression for the test and training …

Large system population dynamics with non-Gaussian interactions

2023-06-23 · Sandro Azaele, Amos Maritan

We investigate the Generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) equations, a central model in theoretical ecology, where species interactions are assumed to be fixed over time and heterogeneous (quenched noise). Recent studies have …

Long-time dynamics and universality of nonconvex gradient descent

This paper develops a general approach to characterize the long-time trajectory behavior of nonconvex gradient descent in generalized single-index models in the large aspect ratio regime. In this regime, we show that for…

Universality of first-order methods on random and deterministic matrices
