Memorization capacity of deep ReLU neural networks characterized by width and depth

2026-03-10 · Xin Yang, Yunfei Yang arxiv

This paper studies the memorization capacity of deep neural networks with ReLU activation. Specifically, we investigate the minimal size of such networks to memorize any $N$ data points in the unit ball with pairwise separation distance $δ$ and discrete labels. Most prior studies characterize the memorization capacity by the number of parameters or neurons. We generalize these results by constructing neural networks, whose width $W$ and depth $L$ satisfy $W^2L^2= \mathcal{O}(N\log(δ^{-1}))$, that can memorize any $N$ data samples. We also prove that any such networks should also satisfy the lower bound $W^2L^2=Ω(N \log(δ^{-1}))$, which implies that our construction is optimal up to logarithmic factors when $δ^{-1}$ is polynomial in $N$. Hence, we explicitly characterize the trade-off between width and depth for the memorization capacity of deep neural networks in this regime.

Small ReLU networks are powerful memorizers: a tight analysis of memorization capacity

2018-10-17 · NeurIPS 2019 12 · Chulhee Yun, Suvrit Sra, Ali Jadbabaie

We study finite sample expressivity, i.e., memorization power of ReLU networks. Recent results require $N$ hidden nodes to memorize/interpolate arbitrary $N$ data points. In contrast, by exploiting depth, we show that 3-…

On Expressivity of Height in Neural Networks

2023-05-11 · Feng-Lei Fan, Ze-Yu Li, Huan Xiong, Tieyong Zeng

In this work, beyond width and depth, we augment a neural network with a new dimension called height by intra-linking neurons in the same layer to create an intra-layer hierarchy, which gives rise to the notion of height…
