Review for NeurIPS paper: Theoretical Insights Into Multiclass Classification: A High-dimensional Asymptotic View

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The authors characterize the asymptotic behaviour of four linear classifiers applied to data generated according to two models. The four classifiers differ according to their loss function: least-squares, class averaging, weighted least-squares and cross-entropy. The data are obtained through a Gaussian mixture or a multinomial logit model. The main results are convergences in probability of the parameters (intercepts and "correlation" matrices). The total and class-wise accuracies are also characterized. Experimental results (obtained on artificial data following the aforementioned models) are also provided in Section 5.
