Algorithms and Barriers in the Symmetric Binary Perceptron Model

David Gamarnik, Eren C. Kızıldağ, Will Perkins +1

The symmetric binary perceptron () exhibits a dramatic statistical-to-computational gap: the densities at which known efficient algorithms find solutions are far belo…

Neural Networks and Polynomial Regression. Demystifying the Overparametrization Phenomena

Matt Emschwiller, David Gamarnik, Eren C. Kızıldağ +1

In the context of neural network models, overparametrization refers to the phenomena whereby these models appear to generalize well on the unseen data, even though the number of pa…
