We study the generalization of two-layer ReLU neural networks in a univariate nonparametric regression problem with noisy labels. This is a problem where kernels (\emph{e.g.} NTK) are provably sub-optimal and benign overfitting does not…

Let $T$ be a finite tree graph, $T^N$ be the Cartesian power graph of $T$, and $d^N$ be the graph distance metric on $T^N$. Also let \[ \mathbb S_r^N(x) := \{v \in T^N: d^N(x,v) = r\} \] be the sphere of radius $r$ centered at $x$ and $M$…
