Abstract

We study the generalization properties of minimum-norm solutions for three over-parametrized machine learning models including the random feature model, the two-layer neural network model and the residual network model. We proved that for all three models, the generalization error for the minimum-norm solution is comparable to the Monte Carlo rate, up to some logarithmic terms, as long as the models are sufficiently over-parametrized.
