Deep Learning of Compositional Targets with Hierarchical Spectral Methods

Hugo Tabanelli, Yatin Dandi, Luca Pesce +1

Why depth yields a genuine computational advantage over shallow methods remains a central open question in learning theory. We study this question in a controlled high-dimensional…

The Computational Advantage of Depth: Learning High-Dimensional Hierarchical Functions with Gradient Descent

Yatin Dandi, Luca Pesce, Lenka Zdeborová +1

Understanding the advantages of deep neural networks trained by gradient descent (GD) compared to shallow models remains an open theoretical challenge. In this paper, we introduce…

A Random Matrix Theory Perspective on the Spectrum of Learned Features and Asymptotic Generalization Capabilities

Yatin Dandi, Luca Pesce, Hugo Cui +3

A key property of neural networks is their capacity of adapting to data during training. Yet, our current mathematical understanding of feature learning and its relationship to gen…

Online Learning and Information Exponents: On The Importance of Batch size, and Time/Complexity Tradeoffs

Luca Arnaboldi, Yatin Dandi, Florent Krzakala +3

We study the impact of the batch size on the iteration time of training two-layer neural networks with one-pass stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on multi-index target fu…

Repetita Iuvant: Data Repetition Allows SGD to Learn High-Dimensional Multi-Index Functions

Luca Arnaboldi, Yatin Dandi, Florent Krzakala +2

Neural networks can identify low-dimensional relevant structures within high-dimensional noisy data, yet our mathematical understanding of how they do so remains scarce. Here, we i…

Asymptotics of feature learning in two-layer networks after one gradient-step

Hugo Cui, Luca Pesce, Yatin Dandi +4

In this manuscript, we investigate the problem of how two-layer neural networks learn features from data, and improve over the kernel regime, after being trained with a single grad…

The Benefits of Reusing Batches for Gradient Descent in Two-Layer Networks: Breaking the Curse of Information and Leap Exponents

Yatin Dandi, Emanuele Troiani, Luca Arnaboldi +3

We investigate the training dynamics of two-layer neural networks when learning multi-index target functions. We focus on multi-pass gradient descent (GD) that reuses the batches m…
