Limiting fluctuation and trajectorial stability of multilayer neural networks with mean field training

Huy Tuan Pham, Phan-Minh Nguyen

The mean field (MF) theory of multilayer neural networks centers around a particular infinite-width scaling, where the learning dynamics is closely tracked by the MF limit. A rando…

Global Convergence of Three-layer Neural Networks in the Mean Field Regime

Huy Tuan Pham, Phan-Minh Nguyen

In the mean field regime, neural networks are appropriately scaled so that as the width tends to infinity, the learning dynamics tends to a nonlinear and nontrivial dynamical limit…

Analysis of feature learning in weight-tied autoencoders via the mean field lens

Phan-Minh Nguyen

Autoencoders are among the earliest introduced nonlinear models for unsupervised learning. Although they are widely adopted beyond research, it has been a longstanding open problem…

A Note on the Global Convergence of Multilayer Neural Networks in the Mean Field Regime

Huy Tuan Pham, Phan-Minh Nguyen

In a recent work, we introduced a rigorous framework to describe the mean field limit of the gradient-based learning dynamics of multilayer neural networks, based on the idea of a…

A Rigorous Framework for the Mean Field Limit of Multilayer Neural Networks

Phan-Minh Nguyen, Huy Tuan Pham

We develop a mathematically rigorous framework for multilayer neural networks in the mean field regime. As the network's widths increase, the network's learning trajectory is shown…

On Capacity Formulation with Stationary Inputs and Application to a Bit-Patterned Media Recording Channel Model

Phan-Minh Nguyen, Marc A. Armand

In this correspondence, we illustrate among other things the use of the stationarity property of the set of capacity-achieving inputs in capacity calculations. In particular, as a…

Capacity of the Energy Harvesting Channel with a Finite Battery

Dor Shaviv, Phan-Minh Nguyen, Ayfer Ozgur

We consider an energy harvesting channel, in which the transmitter is powered by an exogenous stochastic energy harvesting process , such that , which ca…
