Neural networks achieve super-fast convergence and represent complex functions with floating-point arithmetic

Two new arXiv papers explore theoretical aspects of neural network convergence and representation capabilities. The first paper demonstrates that neural network classifiers can achieve super-fast convergence rates under specific conditions, including a hard margin scenario, for various activation functions. The second paper investigates the representational power of floating-point networks, showing they can approximate both function values and gradients using automatic differentiation, even with practical activation functions and finite precision arithmetic.

    Floating-Point Networks with Automatic Differentiation Can Represent Almost All Floating-Point Functions and Their Gradients

    arXiv:2605.01702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theoretical studies show that for any differentiable function on a compact domain, there exists a neural network that approximates both the function values and gradients. However, such a result cannot be used in practice since it as…
