Analysis of one-hidden-layer neural networks via the resolvent method

In this work, we investigate the asymptotic spectral density of the random feature matrix $M = Y Y^*$ with $Y = f(WX)$ generated by a single-hidden-layer neural network, where $W$ and $X$ are random rectangular matrices with i.i.d. centred entries and $f$ is a non-linear smooth function which is app…
