Gradient Descent Finds Over-Parameterized Neural Networks with Sharp Generalization for Nonparametric Regression

Yingzhen Yang, Ping Li

We study nonparametric regression by an over-parameterized two-layer neural network trained by gradient descent (GD) in this paper. We show that, if the neural network is trained b…
