报告摘要:Deep learning has been widely applied and brought breakthroughs in speech recognition, computer vision, natural language processing, and many other domains. The involved deep neural network architectures and computational issues have been well studied in machine learning. But there lacks a theoretical foundation for understanding the modelling, approximation or generalization ability of deep learning models with network architectures. Here we are interested in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with convolutional structures. The convolutional architecture gives essential differences between the deep CNNs and fully-connected deep neural networks, and the classical theory for fully-connected networks developed around 30 years ago does not apply. This talk describes a mathematical theory of deep CNNs associated with the rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function. In particular, we give the first proof for the universality of deep CNNs, meaning that a deep CNN can be used to approximate any continuous function to an arbitrary accuracy when the depth of the neural network is large enough. We also show that deep CNNs perform at least as well as fully-connected neural networks for approximating general functions, and much better for approximating radial functions in high dimensions. Our quantitative estimate, given tightly in terms of the number of free parameters to be computed, verifies the efficiency of deep CNNs in dealing with big data.
