Many recent works have studied the eigenvalue spectrum of the Conjugate Kernel (CK) defined by the nonlinear feature map of a feedforward neural network. However, existing results only establish weak convergence of the empirical eigenvalue…

Despite their immense promise in performing a variety of learning tasks, a theoretical understanding of the limitations of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has so far eluded practitioners. This is partly due to the inability to determine the…

We study the Conjugate Kernel associated to a multi-layer linear-width feed-forward neural network with random weights, biases and data. We show that the empirical spectral distribution of the Conjugate Kernel converges to a deterministic…
