We provide exact asymptotic expressions for the performance of regression by an $L-$layer deep random feature (RF) model, where the input is mapped through multiple random embedding and non-linear activation functions. For this purpose, we…

We study macroscopic behavior of populations of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons subject to non-Gaussian noises; we argue that these noises must be alpha-stable whenever they are delta-correlated (white). For the case of…

We study products of random matrices in the regime where the number of terms and the size of the matrices simultaneously tend to infinity. Our main theorem is that the logarithm of the $\ell_2$ norm of such a product applied to any fixed…

Activation functions critically influence trainability and expressivity, and recent work has therefore explored a broad range of nonlinearities. However, widely used Gaussian i.i.d. initializations are designed to preserve activation…

One of the mysteries in the success of neural networks is randomly initialized first order methods like gradient descent can achieve zero training loss even though the objective function is non-convex and non-smooth. This paper demystifies…
