Parameters as interacting particles: long time convergence and asymptotic error scaling of neural networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Theperformance ofneural networksonhigh-dimensional datadistributions suggests that it may be possible to parameterize a representation of agiven highdimensional function with controllably small errors, potentially outperforming standard interpolation methods. We demonstrate, both theoretically and numerically, that this is indeed the case. We map the parameters of a neural network to a system of particles relaxing with an interaction potential determined by the lossfunction.
