A unified framework for establishing the universal approximation of transformer-type architectures

NeurIPS 2025poster

We investigate the universal approximation property (UAP) of transformer-type architectures, providing a unified theoretical framework that extends prior results on residual networks to models incorporating attention mechanisms. Our work identifies token distinguishability as a fundamental requireme…

A Quantitative Analysis of the Effect of Batch Normalization on Gradient Descent

ICML 2019oral

Despite its empirical success and recent theoretical progress, there generally lacks a quantitative analysis of the effect of batch normalization (BN) on the convergence and stability of gradient descent. In this paper, we provide such an analysis on the simple problem of ordinary least squares (OLS…
