arXiv:2102.09235v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent studies revealed the mathematical connection between deep neural networks (DNNs) and dynamic systems. However, the specific dynamics that DNNs, especially deep residual networks (ResNets), tend to learn during training remain insufficiently characterized. To this end, we model the forward propagation of deep residual networks using continuity equations, in which the measure is conserved and infinite curves in the measure space connect the input distribution to the output one of a ResNet. We find ResNets with $L_2$ regularization attemp
The paper, published on arXiv, builds upon recent progress in understanding the mathematical underpinnings of deep neural networks, particularly ResNets, linking them to dynamic systems and continuity equations.
A deeper theoretical understanding of how deep neural networks, like ResNets, learn and function can lead to more robust, efficient, and interpretable AI models, accelerating fundamental AI research.
This research contributes to a more rigorous theoretical framework for deep learning, potentially enabling advancements in model design, training optimization, and reliable deployment of complex AI systems.
