Global Convergence of Deep Networks with One Wide Layer Followed by Pyramidal Topology

NeurIPS 2020poster

Recent works have shown that gradient descent can find a global minimum for over-parameterized neural networks where the widths of all the hidden layers scale polynomially with N (N being the number of training samples). In this paper, we prove that, for deep networks, a single layer of width N foll…

Globally Optimal Training of Generalized Polynomial Neural Networks with Nonlinear Spectral Methods

NeurIPS 2016poster

The optimization problem behind neural networks is highly non-convex. Training with stochastic gradient descent and variants requires careful parameter tuning and provides no guarantee to achieve the global optimum. In contrast we show under quite weak assumptions on the data that a particular class…
