To understand deep learning we need to understand kernel learning

Mikhail Belkin, Siyuan Ma, Soumik Mandal

Generalization performance of classifiers in deep learning has recently become a subject of intense study. Deep models, typically over-parametrized, tend to fit the training data e…

Diving into the shallows: a computational perspective on large-scale shallow learning

Siyuan Ma, Mikhail Belkin

In this paper we first identify a basic limitation in gradient descent-based optimization methods when used in conjunctions with smooth kernels. An analysis based on the spectral p…
