Block Coordinate Descent for Neural Networks Provably Finds Global Minima

Shunta Akiyama

In this paper, we consider a block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm for training deep neural networks and provide a new global convergence guarantee under strictly monotonically…

Benefit of deep learning with non-convex noisy gradient descent: Provable excess risk bound and superiority to kernel methods

Taiji Suzuki, Shunta Akiyama

Establishing a theoretical analysis that explains why deep learning can outperform shallow learning such as kernel methods is one of the biggest issues in the deep learning literat…
