Tighter Sparse Approximation Bounds for ReLU Neural Networks
Carles Domingo i Enrich · Youssef Mroueh
Abstract:
A well-known line of work (Barron, 1993; Breiman, 1993; Klusowski & Barron, 2018) provides bounds on the width of a ReLU two-layer neural network needed to approximate a function over the ball up to error , when the Fourier based quantity is finite. More recently Ongie et al. (2019) used the Radon transform as a tool for analysis of infinite-width ReLU two-layer networks. In particular, they introduce the concept of Radon-based -norms and show that a function defined on can be represented as an infinite-width two-layer neural network if and only if its -norm is finite. In this work, we extend the framework of Ongie et al. (2019) and define similar Radon-based semi-norms (-norms) such that a function admits an infinite-width neural network representation on a bounded open set when its -norm is finite. Building on this, we derive sparse (finite-width) neural network approximation bounds that refine those of Breiman (1993); Klusowski & Barron (2018). Finally, we show that infinite-width neural network representations on bounded open sets are not unique and study their structure, providing a functional view of mode connectivity.
