Approximation bounds for norm constrained neural networks with applications to regression and GANs
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2022
Upper and lower bounds on the approximation error of these networks for smooth function classes are proved and it is shown that GANs can achieve optimal rate of learning probability distributions, when the discriminator is a properly chosen norm constrained neural network.

It is established that optimal approximation error characterization of deep ReLU networks for smooth functions in terms of both width and depth simultaneously and is non-asymptotic in the sense that it is valid for arbitrary width anddepth specified by $N\in\mathbb{N}^+$ and $L\in-N^+$, respectively.

The results show that for two general kinds of concept class the V-C dimension is polynomially bounded in the number of real numbers used to define a problem instance, and that in the continuous case, as in the discrete, the real barrier to efficient learning in the Occam sense is complexity- theoretic and not information-theoretic.
